MOW ESB Guantlets

Hello again to all, I just wanted to share some more pictures of my project. I have taken a break from working on my MOW ESB version jetpack, and focus on the guantlets. Some of you might be on the fence about spending the money on these particular guantlets, so I'm sharing my experience with this thread. I am extremely satisfied with the turnout so far.

The Flame Unit is both metal and plastic, very strong and sturdy. There is sanding and drilling involved, but nothing too complex, just make sure you use a ruler for measurements. Dont "eye-ball" anything, take your time. Now back to some more pics.......

very nice indeed !!!!! The whole is great, i cannot even tell the rocket is a real metal one or a rasin one :)
 
oh, couple of things from my observation, the MQ-1 keypad on the left guants should be upside down, i think you should put it in the right direction and re-paint the red and blue botton again. The utmost front of the same guants ( in front of the MQ-1 keypad ) should be modified in a curve, now it is just a flat line. On the right gauntlet's rope thrower, there should be some white in the front black tube area, it is not entirely black ( but maybe you have it, just it did show up in the picture )...

Oh no, it's resin. I like to use about four coats of copper spray paint, but buffing with fine steel wool in-between coats it gives it that metal look. Thanks again for the insight, Im working on the keypad tonight. :cheers
