    Escho34's ESB metal gaunts

    His armor and pack are almost done, but I figure I would post his gauntlets.He gave me the thumbs up so here they are.
    I still have to add 2 of the wires, but other than that they are complete.
    What do y'all think of my handmade metal dental expander.lol

    The machined flamethrower, darts ,and missile are from Evolution.Great stuff!!!
    I highly recommend them.
    I always try to add as much realism as I can so of course I wanted the FT to look like it had been used a few times.lol

    Very nice, but I think you should weather the knees more to match the yellow-orange parts.

    Re: Escho34's ESB metal gaunts

    Yeah guys, I just finished wiring up the beacon! Dang!!! super rad all around. The left gaunt if going to be a test. It's 2.5 lbs but feels more like 5 at least but I was prepared for this since it's all machined. All of this work is so great people. I'll post pics soon. I have 3 weeks left to get my whole deal together...wish me luck!

    Awesome work! LOVE the metal gauntlets!

    OK, stupid question time: how is he going to attach the armor to his flak vest? Snaps? Velcro?

    It's not a stupid question at all...I did it with snaps and if you have someone there to help you eyeball everything and be a 2nd pair of eyes it sure helps. It wasn't bad at all though. Let me know if you need help with any information on doing that.

    It's impressive how much nicer the metal gauntlets look then all of the fiberglass/plastic molded ones do. The sharper edges are just... fantastic.. If I ever build a boba I'm going to have to hit you up for a pair of those x.@
