PrePro Gauntlet kits- does anyone do them?

PM sent

ROTJ and ESB kits are pretty available. Pre-pro ones aren't I had mine custom made and waited a long time to get them (but they were custom made for the cost of a normal set) and worth every sec of waiting.

And just because I love to show my costume (espically the guants) off here is a pic of mine. The flamethrower actually extends and retracts (not on its own or anything but still cool)

Those look nice PredatorMV, got any other shots you send?

thanks

Thanks, yea I have lots of pics thanks to Brak's.

JMelles2,
i am also looking for prepro fett gauntlets.

thanks, but i dont make em. i told him a name he could try and see if they make em.

matter of fact send predatormv a pm and ask him where he got his. thats about the best i can do

Predatormv- Pretty cool. I hope mine'll end up looking as good. Does the flame thrower get in the way much, being so long?

phil

I walk around with it in the "closed" position most of the time, in these pics it is fully extended. When closed it only sticks a little past the end of my hand. But to better answer your question, yes it gets snagged on stuff all the time. I broke this one right before these pics were taken and re-glued it, I then broke it a couple more times during the weekend. That is what made me deicde to build one out of metal instead of resin.

Is it actually spring-loaded? Just wonderin' what holds it in its retracted and lengthened positions?

i'll chime in here and say that i actually had a full altmanns suit once, hes a maker from australia. sold it to a friend of mine, we slowly worked out it must of been pre production because of the size of the gauntlets. they are really small, but we still have them. they are not being used right now, so i will post up pics of them.

It is not spring loaded, the "hose" is actually heavy guage wire so it has to be worked into either position and the wire holds it in place. It takes a couple of min. to extend or retract it.

JB you could have seen it at dragon if you wern't so busy changing into one of your dozen costumes LOL!

PredatorMV, would you mind posting a turtorial on your flamethrower? It's the best I've seen!
And, VadersPet, I'd love to see pics of the Altmanns gaunts.

And, DOES anyone offer the PrePro gaunts?
