I make them out of pvc pipe (white) 3/4"-1" its hard to fit them to someone with out a cast of their hands they are fitted to the wearer, im a small guy so I could probably use actual acryllic nails and weather themFor the pvc after theyre in half and shaped cut i use a pnuematic die grinder (with a cutting wheel) the make the ragged edge on the end of the nailthen i set it at avery slow speed and drag it over the pvc for a grain/texture, if you want cracks and hairline creacks use a dremel and cut disc really they dont need paint set a blowtorch very low and quiclky let the flame lick the pvc this burns the raised edge black, and the lowered eged/ crevaces are yellow/grey discoloured colour- Aaron
