I repainted my gauntlets!! I decided that the original color I used was to dark. I used Wisconsin Central maroon for my first attempt. On my second attempt I used Rock Island Maroon and I think it turned out much better.
Check out pics below!!
I wanted to thank RUFFKINTOY for a great set of gauntlets. He also put them together for me including metal hinges!!
here are some pics of them after my paint job!! All I need to add is the hoses and switches to the right gaunt!!

Those look really great! In the first pic they almost look black, but when you scroll down they look much better!
Those gauntlets look gorgeous Darthmiller! Good job on the paint. Now I can't wait for my ruffkin gauntlets either!
The whole Boba(ROTJ)looks great. I can't wait to get my ruffs in.
I heard he's doing fiberglass now, are those fiberglass?
no they are vacumformed..he did use a thicker plastic per my request

Yeah, those look great!ve my RT gauntlets too, Chuck does some great work.:thumbup
Those look awesome! Nick work DM. Was there any additional cost for the thicker material? I would be interested in getting another set that was thicker.
Ruffkin - top notch stuff for sure!
yes...additional charge for the hinges, thicker plastic and for him to put them together. It was worth the money!!
PM him for details
looking good
here is my new and improved paint job!!
i am still working on the right gaunt
a few more shots
Lookin good
BTW , the weathering on the :jet pack looks like it comming along nicely, can't wait to see it complete
Looks really good! I definitely agree that it was worth the extra $$ to have the the hinges put in ... must make it pretty easy to put on and take off.
Can you show some pics of the closed gauntlets with the hinge? I am wondering how much of it you see.
here you go
definitely digging the color change.
Your gauntlets look awesome!!! Could you sell me an unpainted pair? I'm making some Mandalorian armor and your gauntlets are perfect and I definitely couldn't make any as good as yours.
PM ruffkintoy
he is the maker of these gauntlets
I just painted them
Hey DM thanks for posting the pics of the hinges. You did a great job on them.
Very nice work. I am getting some ESB gauntlets really soon.
it was not me who did the hinges
Riffkintoy assembled the gauntlets and added hinges for me
here are the pics of the right gaunt finished
all done with my gauntlets...now I need to finish my jet pack and my new FETTPRIDE armor!!!
Lookin' real good so far! Keep up the good work!
Nice job, the weathering came out great!
