Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build

Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build

Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
Great work, thanks for sharing the detailed photos and build. I have a set of MOW ROTJ gauntlets on the way, and have been looking around for previous build threads. Now off to YouTube to learn how to fiberglass!
Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
Good work DV, they look great.
Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
Nice work mate looks great. I really liked the clips idea. I used magnets on my MOW ESB gaunts they are sturdy but I think I will add the clips for peace of mind.
Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
my goodness what an amazing build. my hope is when i finally get my gauntlets if i can get 1/16th as good a version as these i will be happy!! where did you end up getting the push buttons? also i love the brake line in the hose...think it adds a lot of depth.
amazing work as always lou!
Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
I like the locking system. Where did you buy?
Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
thanks guys :cheers
the pushbutton switches i got here:
https://avnetexpress.avnet.com/store...ction=products
first one on the list :) (MPE106D)
the clips i got here:
Center Release Buckles
the 1/2" size.
these are the same clips MOW used to use, and is where i got the idea to use them. He no longer includes them with his gauntlets.

Thanks for the link:thumbsup
Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
This is sick. Will definitely help me paint my BM ones when I get them. Until I can justify buying an aluminium rocket for it, what are the methods for painting the rocket?
Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
I can do a cold cast one for ya....
... or just paint the body silver and mask as per reference photos for ESB or ROTJ , paint matt black, paint the cone copper. Nothin to complicated
Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
I guess I just need to find shiny paint :P E-Z mode.
Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
Great build....... very nice job.
Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
Sweet job! this will be my next project after my JP...where did you get the aluminum parts that were not in the MOW kit?
Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
Thanks guys.
All the aluminum tubes for the flamethrower came with the kit. The rocket is from TK826. The switches i linked too a few posts up. The MQ-1 i got from e-bay :) The die cast dental expander was from Kurtyboy on here. Darts are Mojo-Fett's, also from here.
Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
I really like the clips inside the Gauntlet...but how hard is it to access those when you want to take the gauntlets off?
BTW-Nice build!
Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
Im not going to lie..they are a bit of a pain...not so much to get to, but sometimes to line em up to get em closed. You need to figit a lil to get them open as well. BUT they are the most secure way i have ever had. They never open or "crunch" from the sound of velcro.
These clips are exactly what MOW used to include when you bought his gauntlets a few years back fully assembled. I was hooked on those things ever since. You really cant suit up Fett fully by yourself anyway, so my wife just puts em on and takes em off of me, that makes it easier, but i CAN do it myself.
Thanks :)
Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
what an awesome way to hinge and secure gauntlets. i may include this design for my partners custome build she wants. (only issue is they will be better looking than mine now lol) great work
Re: Darth Voorhee's MOW Gauntlet build
This is making me want to do an ESB build instead of ROTJ..
