Hi guys!
Im currently making a pair of Boba ROTJ gauntlets and I have been looking around for the darts on the right gauntlet, but I have had no luck finding anyone who sells them. Im also looking for the metal connections between gauntlet and hose. Is there any where to buy these or do someone have any tips on how I can make these myself?
Im just started and are new here on TDH so I do apologize if I post this wrong or anything, but I do have some problem with this and haven't found any good info

Cheers!

To buy here on the site: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f31/...ted-sales-thread-boba-fett-metal-parts-50524/

Here is a link to the dimensions: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/gauntlet-darts-dimensions-53061/

I am at work so I can't click the Ebay links but try the links at the bottom of this link: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/who-doing-aluminum-gauntlet-darts-toe-spikes-collar-studs-49383/

There are definitely people out there. Look to spend somewhere between 30 and 50 for the darts. I am actually looking at starting to make these out of aluminum. Also a wanted to buy add in the cargo bay after you hit 50 posts and 90 days.

Bonus information:
I made mine out of wood the first time around and have a video up in my thread on page 3 about how I did it, I did those for very cheap (I had the dowel on hand): http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/wip-boba-fett-esb-update-gauntlet-painting-53480/index3.html

The darts can be had from this guy:
Right Hand Gauntlet Darts (YWP8STUFS) by toolguy301

And the hose connection is something you should be able to find at your local hardware store. Look for a barbed fitting of the appropriate size.

Omg, Thank you guys this is so helpful !! I bow to your knowledge!

Yes I've been looking at the hardware store but I think I've might have scaled down my gauntlets a bit so Im yet to find a connection that fit the gauntlets, but I will keep looking !

Thanks again guys!
