Hey Guys,

I'm updating this thread for 2011.

I'm nearing completion of the Preproduction2 gauntlet. I actually attempted this gauntlet years ago but the flame unit was always a challenge due to the stress factor, resin was certainly not the way to go. One of the crucial details were these figure 8 details I'm holding in the photos. In the past I used many different materials to make them work but was never satisfied with the overall structural integrity of them until now. These details are now welded steel with some pre prep grinding and some post drilling assemble well with the heavy grade aluminum tubing design. I'm also pleased with the how the metal mounting brackets came out though I'm not satisfied with the size of the screws and the thickness of the metal used and am currently working on a better version. The flame unit is a 2-stage telescopic set up and is functional, I've actually added a small locking screw to secure it in place when fully extended or collapsed but the 8 gauge spiraling wire makes it a challenge to do this effortlessly. I'm guessing most would want it in the fully extended position anyway ")

Enjoy the photos..More to come!

Best,
Christian

I always wanted to have a set of pp2 guants, I will definitely be watching this. I have a good bit of pp2 pics, send me a pm if you need any.
 
Oh yeah, definitely want Pre-Pro V2 Gauntlets! If you do it, count me in. I have a set of your Empire gauntlets that will have to go to the cargo hold if you create these!

Thanks,
Jeff
 
Pre-Pro 2 Gauntlets? :eek: Can it be? Someone is finally going to make some? I had resigned myself to scratch-building mine, although, if I can afford them, I'd be interested in buying a set. If someone absolutely has to get rid of their old ESB or ROTJ, gauntlets, send me a PM.

I'm at the point in this journey towards a PP2 costume, that I'm either going to finish it, or scrap it completely. Three years off and on on a shoe string budget is getting frustrating. :angry

Back to topic now. I'd love to see some MOW PP2 gauntlets whether I can afford them or not. I'll be checking this thread. (y)

The right gauntlet looks the same as the ESB gauntlet (maybe I'm overlooking something, otherwise it looks the same to me), but the left gauntlet is definitely different and has two hoses connected to the back somehow.

The right gauntlet is actually the same gaunt that was seen at C4. The base gaunt is the same but it has been modified for ROTJ with the larger whip cord housing and some areas have been repainted probably as a result of this modification.
 
Hi Chris,

I love to see your work on the PP2 Version.
I am very interested in!

But I think the PP1 left Gauntlet has a different base to the PP2. Here’s a pic of the PP1 Gauntlet, think it’s the same base like the EsB.

That's true, the ESB, PP3 and PP1 costumes have the same base. That's why I think that the ESB one was vacuformed and just the RotJ one has the left "fiberglassed". :wacko

Also the PP2 was vacuformed. :D
