Left Gauntlet Rocket...Rubber?

I bought 2 sets of gauntlets and neither are very good so I started making my own. Here is the rocket out of the mold. It is made of elastomer (rubber) with a 1/4" solid fiberglass rod cast in the middle. You will be hard pressed to break this sucker.

Very Cool! And Con safe

The gauntlets are in progress as well. They will be beautiful! Guaranteed. Sup Schaub?!?!?

Judging by the rocket I dont doubt it

The guantlets should be done in a week or so. Kind of buried with work. They'll be very clean and will fit together well. You'll see......you'll see.

very nice rocket btw, a few things though... would you be able to post pics of the gauntlets, i got a kit and having a difficult time finding what needs to be cut... everyone already has theres past this point.. so iam a little lost, another was how much would it cost to make one of them rockets? it looks very nice... better then the resin one i got.

Not sure how adaptable your molds are, but here is an observation. The very tip of the missle should not come to a point, put rather have a "tip" coming out of it.

Yep. Actually, the tip will be added after the part is out of the mold. I will post another picture after I do that.

WOW. great work. it looks fantastic. any thoughts on making more to sell in the future?

Rubber gauntlets?

Now this sounds interesting!

RECASTER ALERT!!!! RECASTER ALERT!!!!!!
That Missile is the same exact one that I have. It's even made of rubber!

SEE?


Wait, isn't this Clonetroopers.net? Or the RPF?

No?
Oh then I stand corrected.
John was nice enough to pour me one since I was in the same boat .

Unfortunately , I am not as far along on my gauntlets.

@slave 1 pilot: the missile looks good but the gauntlet shell looks...well..rounded rather than sharp, isnt the detail supposed to be a bit sharper.

You are absolutely correct.
That's one reason they still are not complete.
I will probably just build these, sell them off, & get something better.
