Thanks guys, I'm glad you're happy with them!
I'm pretty happy with them also. However, they're being produced with you guys in mind and for your use, so let me know if there's anything you see that needs changing. I tried to capture all of the intricate details I felt I saw from both the CII & Paris ref. pics, from random shots like the Dressing the Galaxy runway show, and from
Dark-Side's valuable input as well...even though he's still hesitant about them being "too big"!:rolleyes. I'm starting to think measuring rulers are smaller in Italy!

Great work! Those gauntlets looks sooooooo clean.
Thanks. The type of feather-fill primer I used really works good on smoothing everything out...so I can't take all the credit. Unfortunately it also smooths out the fine details you want too keep, especially if it's sprayed on thick. So I have to go back and fine sand all the sharp corners and edges back, as well as re-etch the marks on the right gauntlet by the darts:facepalm...but it's worth it!
I wish I could throw some hinges on them and take em for a test run, but it'd ruin them for molding...and then I wouldn't be able to share!
The length is still 8.5", and the inner
"circumferences" are still approximately 9.5" at the wrist and 12.75" on the forearm, with the left gauntlet being adjusted accordingly so it sits slightly lower on the arm like in the ref. pics. Only reason I know this is because I did a test fit with leather gloves on before cutting the shells into halves.
Any questions, let me know.
Again, I'm honored you guys like em!
