something that has been pi**ing me off recently

i have been spending too much time trying to make my mesh go with my rig, and these are just simple paintweights problems, but you can see how frustrated i have been getting. I mean look at the thumb, looks like he has had a horrific accident with one of those old fashioned mangels. (press clean and squeeze all water out of materials device). And then theres the ribs, it is just irataing that i have to spend more time on this than bloody animating! I wish i had got sumone to make a rig for me instead. maybe thats a thing i need to do for next time! Like i said before rigging is a real bitch sometimes!
