You're doing an impressive work as always Cruzer, but Ithat's what I'm seeing:



Hope that helps and I'm sorry for the 100 colours I have used on the pic

Thanks for pointing that front part out to me, as I completely missed it. I think the problem with the other area is the sides need to be raised so that center area for the dental expander is recessed more. Thanks for catching those areas, the colors were helpful too.

Yes it is. I'm only making the shells...I'll let you make the flamethrower. Think JB will let you make some vac pulled flamethrowers at the shop?

Sign me up for a set please. These looks awesome as always.

You are the real GRASSO!!!!

Thank you for doing this

I can't wait to see the finished product

Hi Guys

I have a casio mq-1 used for the gauntlet for sale, is nayone interested?

Lucy

Good looking work!

Thanks guys for the feedback. I'll work on those changes this weekend in between resin drying and what not. I know these gauntlets will never come close to the quality and level of accuracy of those made by the great makers here (i.e. BM, FP, MOW), but mine are only meant to be "stand-ins" until my buddies can upgrade to gauntlets made by those awesome makers mentioned!

Thanks,
Cruzer

looking good cant wait to see the final product

Cruzer,

Nice clay work there

Thanks guys, and thanks MOW. I only wish I had the clay-work skills like you and BM. These are actually solid resin pulls from my Jango gauntlet molds. They were made about a year ago of the feather lite resin from Smooth-On, which is very easily sanded/carved...almost to the point of being too soft at times. The bottom areas replicated the clay I had to used to clay up my Jango gauntlets when I molded them.

Thanks bro, I'm assuming your pics are of ESB, and is it just me or do the corners and edges look sharper than on the ROTJ gauntlets. All I have are the ref. cd. pics for ROTJ where the corners all look soft.

Ok, here they are after a few of the suggested modifications. I did soften the details a tad on the lower shells to give them that "vac-formed" look. I kept off any details that weren't on both the ROTJ and ESB, because I figure they can be a glue-on application depending on which version is desired.

I think I'm done with them if there aren't any more suggestions. Please let me know.

Thanks,
Cruzer

I'm feeling something strange...

Wow Cruzer, you did an awesome work, I hope your friends enjoy them!

Very nice, good work man!

Thanks guys. I did a little work on them this weekend, and corrected the back area to look more like Boba and less like Jango. The ref. pic is borrowed from the ref. cd.

Let me know if there are any other problem areas.

Thanks again!

Very cool work!

Actually, yes. The molds are done and they are just sitting at the Sci-Fire shop waiting for some action. One of these days I'll get over there to pick them up and make a few fiberglass pulls. I forgot all about this project so thanks for reminding me and getting me excited about it again.

Your excited!! How do you think those of waiting for a set are :thumbup

any update on availability of these?

I haven't made any copies and I'm not sure if anyone at the sci-fire shop has made any pulls. Slavefive talked about making a few sets, but I'm not sure if he has.

Hello there, reciently I purchased the boba fett ESB gauntlets, I making my jango costume but I know that there are diferences in that 2 gauntlets, especially the left because jango have the flametrower and boba ESB have a some kind of mini lasers and not have flametrower.
If somebody can help me with some images references to add the flametrower and make the changes to boba to jango.
AH!! another thing, I saw that boba have is his 2 gauntlets versions, ESB and ROTJ, that the left gauntlets have the keypad........Jango do not have that..........do you reccomend me cut the key pad of the gauntlets that I buyed??
Thanks.....
I appreciate any help.................
