Man of War Studios possible "Gauntlets" run ?

Hey Guys,

Over the past several months I've had many inquiries concerning gauntlets. Am I still making them? When are you planning to make them?..etc. etc.

Though I stopped making gauntlets nearly a year ago and vowed never to do another set I am feeling the frustration of a lot of you who are in desperate need of a set to finish off your costumes...

I'd like to take a short break from the classic Jet Pack kit casting while I complete the molds for the "Arena" version being released in early May.

Soooo if there are any of you that would be interested in purchasing a set of ROTJ or ESB version gauntlets please drop me a pm. If I do decide to do a run at least I'll have a good idea of my workload.

Cost would be the usual $350.00 a set (non-painted) fully assembled. I may make some design changes such as a vacuum formed bottom section and may decide to cast the remaining sections out of gel-coated fiberglass and/or hollow cast resin. The same material used in my Jet Pack kits.

I'll be fooling around with some ideas while looking forward to your responses..Thank you all for your continued support.

Best,
Christian

If you did that vacuum formed lower shell, would it be possible for those of us that have gauntlets from your last run to get a replacement kit?

I'm always nervous about the shell getting broken... that would be a great "peace of mind" change.

it would almost be too good to be true. i don't remember what your kits looked like right off the top of my head (other than they were beautiful), but i'd be tempted to get myself a second pair of gauntlets.

i guess if all goes well, as in get what im supposed to get paid, at the end of the month, i'd probably buy a set of rotj

Well I know where my Stimulus check will be going

lol, hadn't thought of that, mostly cuz i was planning on mine going to OSCS.

Hey Christian,

Got any pics of your latest ESB version, and whats in the kit?

I'd be jumping all over these people. Christians gauntlets are CHERRY! I absolutely adore my set!

What's this talk of a kit !

Who made mention of a kit !?

Thanks Fettfullofdollars...

That would be me?
I haven't seen/researched pics of your ESB gauntlets bruv and didn't know if they came in kit form e.g greebles/flamethrower etc?

These gauntlets are real nice! Mine were spot on, minimum clean up required and well cast...highly recommended...

...Kitt ?
*knight rider theme*

nah seriously though, kit sounds more 'pro' hehe

Mojo,

Yes. The ESB flame unit, rocket and keypad details where all loose. The bulk of the gauntlets were assembled with a metal hinge.

I may do away with the hinge all together and go for velcro closures on both ends..I believe Fettpride did this with the JB gauntlets. loved it !

hhahaha oh man, I just bought an old set you made but its broken and needs repair. DANG!

hrmm i would be tempted very much on these, thats if they will fit my arms... id love it if they would though!! ive got a bit of a muscly forearm and they arent that long either lol... :P

MOW If you could give me a rough measurement setup on your gauntlets ill let you know whether id be in for it

put me down for a set of ROTJ gauntlets if all goes ahead

welcome to tdh, being that this was your first post i will applaud you on your decision to go "all in," and not balk at the price, thinking that you can skimp on boba. if you try to go cheap with boba it doesn't work out very well most of the time. unless you have mad skills. also, although i don't know where in australia you live, and it is a large land mass, but you're in some pretty good company in your land down under. there are some very fine fetts in australia.

now back on topic: i'm going to get to work on my fp gauntlets, but i've always wanted a set of MoW's. i don't want to let this opportunity pass me by.

You know I want a set

Might be interested in a ROTJ set depending on PICS. Are they as accurate as FP's?

Possibly interested in an ESB set, could you put some pictures up please Christian, many thanks

Depending upon when you made them and when the money was due I might be interested as well. Fiberglass guants have been an upgrade I've wanted for a long time.

for everyone wanting pics of these amazing gauntlets, here is a collection of threads that feature christians work.

That would be great as I have a broken lower shell from the older version and would love a replacement as well or maybe I could send it to you perhaps? I had given up hope that it could be fixed as you upgraded and did the smaller size. Its a clean break.
I'll pm you.

U$350 fully assembled ? put me for 1 set...i think i'll go for ESB version...

hey christian, does this mean you aren't making jet packs anymore? i was going to plan on getting one from you sometime by the end of may. thanks.

VB,

Send me a pm when your ready...I'll hook you up

Hey Christian...
Any shots of these new bad boys your offering?

I would be interested in a ROTJ set.

Levi

Mojo,

Been making some mods on the ESB versions..A wider girth and such. I should have the masters completed in a day or two. Pour the molds etc. Look for some photos by this weekend.

Hope this helps,

Wow! I'd be ready for a RotJ set. My stimulus check was spent a long time ago, but I know I can't pass these up again. PM sent!

If I read it correctly, you are going to take some orders for the Jango Arena Jet Pack?
Keep me posted, I am looking for one....

John

Another bump for updates?

Christian you do a run of Gauntlets and I am so in. I would kill for some MoW Gauntlets! I am so very glad I happened across this thread, count me among the many "Aye!"s
