Gauntlet blueprints

Soz... Yes it does i agree... but because it was more elliptical than round we kept it straight then trim to suit the radius?
By the way left gaunt looks very crisp!! (y)
 
"but because it was more elliptical than round we kept it straight then trim to suit the radius?"

- that´s the way I´ve done it.

Soz buddy I meant that the radius at the ends were more elliptical? BUT you are right the way you have done it should work (y)
Each builder will have their own way or method of achieving these omitted items...
Keep us posted of your progress bro!

I've completed the MK2 version of the lower clamshells... and managed to un-stick my fingers! :lol:
After Alan and I chatted about some areas that needed some minor adjustments on thickness etc, the final set of templates were born...
I'm really happy with them - especially the way they form around the arms.
Next I'm gonna try and mould the lower left clam and add the upper section to the right...

As always these look great, Alan. Fantastic Work!(y) One day I'll attempt to make them. I've used your templates for almost everything else might as well give these a try too.

WOW!! I’m gone a week and you guys go crazy! Looks like there are a number of great builds going on and even one in metal, very cool! great job guys. Can’t wait to see the finished projects.

Glad to see that folks likes them.

As for the rocket cradle I have to agree with MOJO-Fett this is one piece that is better off being a cut to fit part, but if folks insist I will make exact flat pattern. The other part is still in work, I didn’t want it hold up the release of the templates. It is also a part that should be easy to take some scrap and cut to fit. I have started a flat pattern for it, but just haven’t had the time to finish it.

I finished this little puppy in about four hours today. I built it out of an old metal "Beware of Dog" sign and thin cardboard. The clamshells are shut with velcro and open with a hinge that is attached with brads, because the screws were WAY too long. I'll more pictures tomorrow after I spackle and paint it. And I just realized that I left that little box on the top off...so I'll have to do that.
