Gauntlet blueprints

Looks great(As usual) The armor templates you made worked great(easy to scale based on hieght) i rescaled them for my daugters Boba costume and it is turning out great. I'm anxiously awaiting the templates. Keep up the great work.

Thank you, glad to hear that they worked out so well. Do you have any pictures you can post? I'd love to see the results.

I think these templates are going to be a bit more envolved than I would like them to be, but hopefully I can get it right.

Alan

Alan we love you

-=QuinN!

You are the man! Scratch-built is definately the way to go and your templates are idiot-proof! Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work that you put into these designs. Can't wait to see the finished product. If you need a "beta-tester" let me know!

These look awsome. Would you happen to be making some for Jango's gauntlets also?

Anyone up for a CAD challange?

(or has it already been done? )

Thank you all.:o

The Jango gauntlet are next on the list, actually they have already been started, but I have nothing worth posting yet just a bunch of construction lines.

Ok, I'll bite, what's the challenge?

Dude thanks again for your dedication to this. I am going to continue on with a Jango for her for next year(maybe some conventions also,We'll see)
Hope I didn't break any rules by posting a web page instead of pictures but I couldnt see chewing up 14 screens of hig res pics when some people won't want to see them

Great Job Alan! The prints look great. I'm
sure it will become very helpful for all the fetts who are
interested.

Thats it! i was going to start my fett, but now i think i will just wait, after wizzard gets done my work will be a breeze!

Wizardofflight>> Well the challange is to do the gauntlet schematics in 3D in AutoCAD. (or similar) Once that is done they can very easily be scaled to fit anyone.

mmmm, looking good still

Hello,

It’s been a bit since the last update, spent last week in the sunny south on vitiation, a very nice break from rainy Seattle. But I have not been idle, I have finished the draft drawing for the right gauntlet. The flat patterns have been started as well.

So, take a look at the first post for the new drawing and let me know what you think of it.

Alan

Hey Wizard! I like your other project, there. Brings back a lot of memories! I'd love to see it when it's all done!


m@

I may never finish the 3D model but here are the orthos for the studio scale version.

Nice! If you ever finish that one, would you do the four seat version as well?

Well, now that you mention it I did take a shot at the Quad a few years ago. Take a look;

But now that the studio scale drawings are done I'll need to update these.

Alan

P.S. Here is some more of my stuff: http://www.angelfire.com/scifi2/wizardofflight/

Cool!!

Alan, did you make that Buck Rogers Ship? I have a 3D Max model of it if you need it. I am only a novice, but I use 3D Max 4.

I finished the orthos (in the links above) from a casting of the studio model so they are pretty close to the real thing. I did some clean up from the original because the casting was distorted. I never got back to the 3D model, I had planned on building a copy of the studio model, but I haven't gotten back to it. I'd be interested in seeing your 3D Max model, I have 3D Max 4.26, if possible you can send it to wizardofflight@comcast.net Thanks

Well, my model is nowhere near as detailed as yours. I was probably one of the first things I ever made in 3D Max 1.2.

That's cool T-Bone! You guys make me want to refurb that old model of mine!

m@

Any updates on the templates?

Hello,

Not to worry I haven't forgotten the gauntlets just needed a break to work on the Fett helmet and clone blaster blueprints. I should be getting back to these in the next few days. Stay tuned.

Alan

*accidently bumps into Alan at the store*

oh hey? what's up. make anything cool lately?




sorry with all the success with your previous works I am very excited about this

-=QuinN!

I know, I know. I have been a bit preoccupied lately. I really need to get back to these, I'll see what I can to to finish them up.

Been a busy week for me I got my KOTOBUKIYA Boba Fett Figure and my Webley casting from Sidewinder and I became a father all in the same week.

Alan

As I read, congrats.

I have finally finished the drawings for the Jango gauntlets (see the link above) so if you interested take a look and let me know what you think. Also take a second look at the Boba gauntlets drawings in the first post. I am getting ready to finally start on the templates. Hopefully that will go faster that the drawings have.

Thanks,

Alan

cool. now I can start the sculping using the blue prints. Hey where do you get sintra? I hear it's easy to work with is it found at a lowes, menards or home depot? I don't think I can get away doing fiberglass. I hear the fumes are dangerously toxic. I have a minor in art as related to sculpting so this would be the cheapest route for me. If I get a handle on it though I will be making a butt load for each suitHMMMM I figure a rotj, jango,ESB, what if fett had huge freaking predator like blades, or wrist blaster, huge armore war guantlet things .... The possibilities are endless... so where do you get sintra?

YES got my money back from my auction. Sculpture when to the trash after minimal work. Ruffkin thanks you are gonna save me loads of work. Now i can put my artistic talents into the finishing of the guantlets.

Well as I stated in the Jango gauntlet thread I have started drawing the flat patterns for the gauntlets. The long wait is almost over.

Alan

YESSSS!!!

I can't wait, and I'm sure they will rock.

incredible, as always

UPDATE! 9/14/06

I have added a new pic to the first post. It is the 1st gauntlet to be built with my new gauntlet templates. I took the templates and made all the pieces in AutoCAD and then I assembled them just like I would if they were made out of real material. The purpose was to make sure that all the pieces fit and that when assembled that they actually look like a Fett gauntlet. if you look close you can see where the pieces fit together in some places.

The next step will be to construct a cardboard mock-up to double check. Once that is complete I will be posting the first set of gauntlet templates for download.

So let me know what you think.

Alan

And an AutoCAD version for me right?

Don't get me wrong, Ruffkin's gauntlets are great, but I want to scratch build every part of my costume!

Looks awesome, WOF! Looks like everything fits together nicely. I can't wait for these!

Oooooh...I want. I want badly.

Can't wait!!

Hurray! They look great- just in time too as I really need to get started on mine for Halloween. Mine will more than likely be cardboard....

that render is exciting

I have added a render of the right gauntlet 3D model to the first post. I still need to do some tweaking but the hard part is done. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Alan

OK! I have updated the first post again and here is the first look at the gauntlet templates. These have been the hardest piece of Fett hardware to document; even the jet pack was easy by comparison. They are not finished yet and I still need to test them by building moc-ups, but they are nearly there. Once they are complete the scratch building can begin.

Alan

Those look great!! I can't wait until I see them finished. You also have Jango to look forward to

ssaaaaaa--weeeeeeettttt

Awesome!! Those templates look great. Pretty soon there won't be anything else to make templates for.

hey great Autocad work. I'm in my 2nd year workingwith the program, (mainly residential housing design) and plan on making templates for TDH users. I'll make a post when i make the templates.

Hello, can anyone help me here? Im in need of blueprints with measurements for everything for a jango AND a boba fett costume.

Im a 501st SL, SL-8582 from garrison titan, and the STT,
And looking into moving into a fett costume. Im looking at working on a jango first as the paint is easier than boba.

Please email me, or pm me any links you might have.

Thanks

Also, I have a rubies RSDV cloak Id be willing to trade for some fett parts. I have a line on the helmet and armor, but still need basically everything else. Im (if I can get detailed blue prints with measurements) going to make the jango parts out of aircraft aluminum for a more authentic look.

Let me know,

Thanks

DM

Im looking for actuall measurements if I can get them. This way I can make the flat layout of the pieces and do the folds, shrinking and stretching the metal as necessary. your blue prints are very nice, but have no measurments to them, which is what I need! if you had a measurement for each line on the blue prints they would be perfect! The only add to that might be add angles to them, where needed.

Without actuall measurements,... pictures dont help much. And you have to do alot of guessing, and create alot of waste trying to get it right.

As I said they still being developed when thay are done I will be posting full size printable templates that will include all the details that you will need to create a set of gauntlets from scratch. For an example, down load the PDF attachment of the Sling gun in the first post of this thread to get a feel of what I am planning to do with the gauntlet drawings.

http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/boba-fett-sling-gun-blueprints-14474/

I won't be posting any dimensions until I have completely mocked up the gauntlets so as to ensure that they are correct. So I am afraid that you will need to wait until I am satisfied that they are ready for posting or you can buy a kit for $200 there are a number of excellent craftsman on this board that put out quality work.

I have created a number of Fett templates and most of the scratch built equipment that you will see here on the board is a result of those templates.

Alan

P.S. One more thing to consider I post all of my templates for free.

I use AutoCAD 2006 for my 2D and 3Ds MAX 7 for my 3D stuff.

I'll tell you what I think Alan, you're amazing!

Hello,

I know that I have been away from these for awhile and many folks have been asking on updates for Boba’s gauntlets templates. Well you are in for a pleasant surprise. I have to admit that I have been extremely frustrated at my lack of progress on these templates. They have been the most time consuming and complicated Fett project that I have done so far. So at the encouragement of MOJO-Fett (Gavin) I have managed to finally get the draft set of templates near completion and Gavin took on the tasks of reorganizing my mess of template parts into a much more user friendly form, from which he has done a fantastic job assembling the prototypes. Thank you my friend!

There are a few more thinks to work out before the final templates will be posted, so stay tuned!

Material used is 1mm Foamex (Sintra) So on to the pics;

WOW!! That is great work!!

Thanks to Alans great work...:thumbup
Ignore the colours, I only wanted to show some colour on them as it showed more of the details... (only cans i had)

WOW!



cant wait to see them finished!

amazing......!!you won't bealive this, but right now i'm working in your blueprints too!!! but of course, ala PVC WAY!!!!
maybe tomorrow, will post some pics....
ALAN, my Boba will be only cause your brillant work...thanxs again...

Alan just needs to finish off the bottom halves then I can mould into shape, then I'll cover all the outer edges with bondo (filler) then round them off. The assembly is really easy with Alan's templates with minor tweeks for lay flat patterns.
More pics will follow once I've bought more Sintra and constructed the outer section to the right gaunt that has the 2 hoses.

Cool Chewie... look forward to seeing them?

Excellent! Please post some pics!

Glad I was able to help you out!

Alan

I get the hint I. Hopefully this weekend will see the completion to these templates. Thank you Mojo-Fett!

SWEEEET! Alan, this is awesome news! I can't wait until these templates devour my free time like your helmet templates did. Great work bro!

Another great free resource for the scratchbuilders in the community provided by Alan. I hope people appreciate the beauty of your work man. I will be all over this when I finish work on the helmets.

Hey Alan, patience is a virtue? no worries when they are ready bud, going foamex shopping this morning so more updates on the gauntlets to come. Alan I think I've had a good idea for the ROTJ flamethrower too... I'll send you the file.
Again thanks allot for this mate, without all of your research and time none of this would happen.

Sorry guys no update today as the Shop wasn't open to get my Foamex?!
but I have one of the upper sections for the right gaunt profiled..waiting on more material to finish the 'sandwich' then onto the lower sections...

Can't wait for more pics! Nice job guys!!!

Sorry been a wasted Monday here... they are out of 1mm Foamex so I'm gonna work on the outer section of the right gauntlet this afternoon using 3mm instead of the 1mm. post pics later on.
Thanks for all the comments on these, much appreciated.


G

need 2 models to see what I was doing wrong ...........but sonner I will have someting to show...

Hey CHP, what parts do you think you did wrong? maybe I can help?

Hey CHP... looking good there buddy
Send me more pictures of your right side and I'll see what the problem is... Or I can send you more of mine if that would help?

-Gavin-

Hey guys.. just a couple of updates, first the upper clamshell for the right Gauntlet, secondly the outer section to the right Gauntlet... More to follow when I have formed the lower clamshells (when I get the materials )

Cool!! I'm getting tingly all over! I love seeing this stuff coming together.

Alan

Mojo, you have something good there!!!... with this pics I guess there will not problems...as sonner I have more to show I will post it...
THXXXX

Hey no worries CHP,
look forward to seeing more of yours? keep us posted and if there is anything I can do just ask... also lets not forget the master himself... Alan and his great templates? :thumbup

:thumbup to him!!!!

all this stuff was made with his great blueprints....:thumbup

Mojo, are you just scoring to make the curves, or are you cutting through and gluing?

Just wondering if your any closer to uploading the downloadable template version for the guantlets

Hey guys.... Phew! just got in from a small trip away with family.
DB- Yeah I scored the upper side (not parallel) lines to form the curve, but that section is the inner section of the two? Klinjo- Sorry for the delay, as I said I just got back from a trip away? I will get them on the thread asap once I have run them passed the 'Master' Alan.. :thumbup

Once MOJO-Fett has completed his prototypes, I was planning to create a set of PDF files for the gauntlet templates one for standard 8.5X11 paper and one for A4 paper. With PDFs there is no fussing with scaling factors, you just print it and then the fun really begins.

Stay tuned.

Alan

Wizard, you are a GOD when it comes to templates!!:thumbup:thumbup:thumbup

I've just finished a mockup of the helmet and chest pieces and they look great!

Sorry guys... Have sent some final versions to the lay flat patterns to Alan and await final confirmation... I will try and post current pics later, failing that, tomoro morning?
Sorry for he delay.

-Gav-

Soz.. forgot to ask? CWP do have any updates on our gauntlets buddy? be good to see your progress..

Ok.. things got a little slow this end what with hols and lack of materials? but here are some progress shots of the build.
Please ignore the 'tape' as these were used for locating parts etc before I finally fit. Next will come the interesting part of moulding then see if a full set can be made from them....

The lower clam shells go together like a dream (as does most really) huge thanks go to Alan for his drawings/blueprints that brought these to life... :thumbup

Please pass on any comments 'before I go too far' to rectify any issues...

Very nice!

looking great MOJO, quick question, this foamex stuff, is that just like sintra? and... PM me where you're gettin' it from ive been looking for that stuff


-Ollie

Cheers Bill, really appreciate it... still got the hard part of the painting and weathering? gonna need some help I think... lol
Hey Ollie, yeah no worries buddy Foamex/Foamalux - IS Sintra (to the best of my knowledge) it's signage material... send ya an email etc with contacts Oh how's the Armour coming along?

Well that's my gob well and truly smacked...Looks fantastic, Fantastic work on the templates WOF and cracking job on the build.

Looking great!!!

Thanks guys.. means allot. again I can't sing his praises enough but Alan is the one that brought these things to life through his great work...
If anyone has gotten anything from this, then... job done.
IF anyone needs any info or details on what I did... just ask?

sorry Mojo, don't see this before....today I' ll continue with this...
do you or Alan have the templates of the lower clams shells, and there is some update with the main blueprints?
I'm having some problems with the PVC thickness, cause it's very dificult to adapt it (need a thin pvc for the small parts)...
I think that maybe the best way to work them in PVC would be to first make the big parts ( upper and lower clams shells) and then make in other pvc the small parts....
any help will be aprecited....
thnx so much!

Hello,

The templates are nearly ready for posting they still need a few more tweaks here and there. Hopefully maybe later this weekend if I manage to find a few spare moments.

I don't have the lower clam shells as a seperate file, but they will be included in the final version.

Alan

Ummm...have I just missed it somewhere in this thread or are the templates available now? If someone has them could you PM or email them to me? I've been chomping at the bit for these for a long time and can't wait to get started!!

PLease disregard previous post as apparently WoF was answering that question while I was typing it in!

thanx Alan...
will wait for them

CWP.. Templates are almost ready to post by Alan, as stated just a few tweaks here and there? What probs you having? shoot me a PM and I'll answer any questions you have regarding the build up of the smaller parts? needless to say, the final templates make it soooo easy to make. keep us posted of your build?

Hi, Mojo, the problem that I have is that the pvc (the ticker one I have at home) make very dificult to work the small parts of the gauntlets...why? because is VERY tick, and modify all the sizes...so, I will save it to make the clam shells, and get some less ticker to make the rest...
as I say, I'll wait for the final templates and make first the clam shells with them...
THANKS SO MUCH, MOJO, and ALAN...
