Hahahaha!! LOOK AT THAT!!! You would think that I would have been able to ID that (since I discovered the MQ-1 years and years ago), but it never even crossed my mind! GREAT find Darth Voorhees!!! I will pull out my MQ-1 today and snap a photo of the two together!
Art is slipping in his old age.
OK, things like this just make my day and have set my morning off right. I high tailed it out to my parts box and had to dig out an MQ-1 battery cover to shoot. Now, granted, this is NOT the best angle or anything, but Darth Voorhees nailed it. It is clearly the MQ-1 part! You can see that it was sunk into the the rest of the gauntlet build. This find is really important for two reasons:
1) it is another verifiable reference that sculptors and builders can use to help them scale their replica gauntlets and
2) it allows me to verify that my castings have minimal shrinkage and are indeed the right size!
Thanks again DV!

Amazing job ID'ing that so quickly DV! I think I owe you a drink at C6 for that.
Son of a B!@#$ Awesome find Lou and it makes perfect sense that they would do something like that!!
You know I was looking at that left gauntlet (and I may be WAY off here) but the way it looks, it almost seems to have a race car/dragster body appearance (or at least part of it...maybe a section of a body frame or something??).
Anyone else wanna chime in on this?
I'm guessing this has already been discussed before in a long dead thread, but humor me lol
Just ask here and I will post up measurements per your request.
Art thanks for sharing and thanks for creating the dented helmet. I can only imagine what else is out there.
