Can I get an opinion on these gauntlets

Hi guys,

I bought these gauntlets just over a year ago and I don't know, I just don't know if I'm happy with them. I was told they were Ruffkins but I'm not sure.

They were about the first thing I bought, and I know they need work on the darts etc, but can anyone with a good eye for detail check out these pics and offer ANY kind of opinion??

Right gaunt:







Left gaunt:









So what do you think guys? Don't be scared to offend!!!
If anyone wants to see more detailed pics just let me know.


Thanks a LOT for your views!! :thumbup

those don't look like the ruffkin gauntlets i used to have. dunno if those are older or newer, but they are definitely different. rocket is softer, hose connectors different, etc...

The flamethrower nozzles look long and I thought that the hose connectors, both come out of the same spot, not one out the bottom?

Man, those suck. Send them over to me and I'll take care of them!

Just kidding mate, those look good. I'm not sure of their maker, however.

I believe that they are BradleyFett gauntlets.

Well not to sound mean, but it could use a new paint job and maybe a new rocket for the left gaunt. The rocket detail to me is too soft. I saw someone here offering a good rocket not too long ago. The darts should be replaced(but you mentioned that already). Just my two cents, please don't be offended.

they look a little small to me... and i have to agree about the rocket, its just not right. but for the most part, they dont look half bad to me.

Definately not mine, They look kind of like RA's but not positive.

Naas: You frightened the life out of me there bro!!!
Thanks for the compliment though!!

Solochaser: No offence caused mate, this is exactly what I was after. All criticism is constructive!!!

Honestly guys! Be as brutal as you like!! I want to make my gauntlets as authentic as possible!!!

Frerr: I'm fairly sure they're the right size, I guess my hands are deceptively large!!
If you/anyone wants to see photos of them on my forearms, let me know!!

Ruffkin: Thanks for chipping in mate! Who/what is RA?

Thanks everyone for your opinions. I'm actually starting to feel good about my gauntlets now!!


Keep them coming!!!!

Pauly,
I would get a new rocket here http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showthread.php?t=25321
I own 2 of them and they are great! Light, lots of detail, and cheap.

It looks like you have a RA Boba left gaunt, and a RA Jango right gaunt.

Thanks for the heads up Asok! I like that word - cheap!
You too B P, thanks for letting me know!!

It puzzles me though, who would buy a Boba left gaunt and a Jango right?

Yeah, apart from me!!! I mean, someone must've bought these in the first place, before selling them to me...
Why would they not go ALL Boba or ALL Jango...?


So basically I need to upgrade the rocket/darts/flamethrower and repaint, and I'm good to go??


Might be a little while!!

Go take a look at Richie's right Boba gaunt! I'd take the Jango version too.

Oh yeah.

Good point well made Boba Phat!!

I've got one more question, but 'm at work right now, will come back when I'm home and can post a picture.

I noticed that the dental expander on the left gauntlet is in the open position, it should be in the closed position.

Man , they look great ! Why does it matter if the flamethrower nozzle looks longer than normal.

Wow Morten! How many others would have spotted that!!! 8)

And thanks for the compliment Boba Luke!!!

My question was,


I need to replace this bit. I'm not sure what its called but does anyone know where I can get an accurate one? Preferably in the UK?


Thanks guys!!!

Anyone??

Try Bobamaker.
I know that he has been working on a pair of gauntlets. And.. He lives in the U.K.

gauntlet rocket is the pretty sure sign.
