gray?

I guess i may be late to this party, but am I correct in thinking that the part of Jangos right gauntlet that holds the hose (one of them anyway) is GRAY and NOT silver? What else is gray? Well since I am trying to find new, more accurate gauntlets (hint hint.. anyone?) I aint gonna bother re-painting it... at least I don't THINK so...
 
Has anyone found the correct type of hoses for Jango? I've looked around, and nothing looks right. The closest hose I found was @ Home Depot, it was for a grease gun and it was black with the braided threads but it was only 1/4" thick. Any leads out there?

I got my hose from home depot as well in the back it was labled as "fuel hose". This was the closest I found and it works great. Arturo has the same stuff and it looks great. Hope this helps, later.

How flexible is fuel line vs. the braided PVC that Boba has? I have a hard time trying to bend my arms with the PVC.

I dont think you will have any problems with the fuel line it works great and has a nice flex to it. Hope this helps.

rocket color

Sometimes the rocket on Jangos gauntlet all black, sometimes it is silver with black stripes (like Bobas). I assume one is a pre prod and the other isnt? Is this correct? I kinda like the way the all black ones look.
 
Hi gang, I need to know how I can make the left gaunt stay put. the problem is the flame thrower box is so heavy that when I wear it that it turns it's self downward, I'm always having to turn the thing back up right. Any help would be great. I cant make the thing any tighter with out cutting into my arm to keep it in place. Remeber Im a very large JangoBear.

I put cut strips of foam padding in mine. I just slide them in at the top and the bottom after I put the gauntlet on and they seem to stay put. If you gauntlets clam-shell shut, you may want to just glue or velcro these pieces directly to the gauntlet.

Ive put together a quick comparison, you can find it here:

Careful, its 110k...

As you can see by the pics, the level of detail is staggeringly diffrent. The Jango armor has alot of detail, wheras the Boba is simplified. Now IANABFE, (I am not a Boba-Fett Expert) but Im pretty sure this is just a product of the casting products of the 70's versus todays technology. The Jango Armor also has diffrences such as extra hoses, and a missing piece near the end of the wrist rocket launcher.

The pics are from Brak's Buddys amazing Online Ref. CD

and assorted celeb. II pics I had on my PC.

I was wondering if anyone has made the gauntlets out of sintra and if you have, was it a major pain in the a$$?
Thanks,
Mike

Well, I've made Boba's gauntlets out of sintra. I had to make my mistakes and figure out how to do it, but they turned out well. At least they are not too small/too large for my body, and they have a good amount of detail.

Lisa, thanks for the reply. What did you use to glue all the "stuff" on to the gauntlet?
Thanks,
Mike

I'm making some Jango gauntlets out of sintra right now... I'll try to post some pics soon... its definately difficult to take 2-D pics and turn them into a 3-D object that you've never made before. THe right one is done, now working on the left one... the rocket thing is my biggest hold-up...anyone got any ideas? BTW, Superglue seems to work better for me than the 2 part epoxy...GL

Well It seems that someone's Tip about using a clutch alignment tool was a great start for the rocket on the left guantlet...There are all different shapes and sizes depending on the vehicle... but all are a bit short or not quite the right shape. SO It must be a tractor clutch alignment tool or something, I'll look into it some more and leave another post. If anyone else has any info, I'd appreciate it. Like, what to use for the pointy thing on the end of the rocket =)

Can anyone post a list of all of the attachments (i.e. buttons, switches, hose attachments) they used on there gauntlets and where they got them? I'm using tube lighting from Target as the hoses, but I have no idea where to begin with all of this extra stuff. I've decided to go with sintra for the gauntlets. It looks like it's going to be TOUGH to make them, but the molded plastic gauntlets I bought are WEAK and not very detailed. So, I'm going to try my own hand at it.
