creating a simple hand in 3ds max

I wanted to have a go at using 3dsmax on my own as I wanted to get a better grasp on how to use it. I found a tutorial online which I found was extremely helpful.

I started off by creating a box with length seg: 3 Width seg:7 and height seg:1.

 I then used the polygon tool and extrude to create basic shapes for fingers from the box.

Here was what the shape looked liked when i turned on NURMS toggle. Its starting to take shape at this point I just need to add a few more details.

Here you can see I create nails on each finger. I turned on polygons and used extrude, move and scale to get a simple box to sit on top of the finger and smoothed the edges.

Finally I wanted to move the fingers around slightly to look more relaxed and realistic. Here is the final rendering and I'm quite happy with the outcome.
