Looking good!
Sorry I couldn't get these to you before Christmas, but I just finished them up...and the "adults" around here have been keeping me busy!
I went with an expanding roto-cast resin for the shells (making them very lite) and a Feather Lite resin for the parts (lite enough to float in water), so these should be some very comfortable gauntlets for her to wear. I lost your shipping info, so if you could shoot it to me again, they'll go out asap. Monday, if USPS is open.
Thanks,
Cruzer

Cruzer - Those are going to make a great addition to an already great costume. Can't wait to see her decked out with her completed costume!!

For you, I could do a complete set like you see in the pic for $75. Fiberglass backed gel-coat would be $25 more, but they'd be heavier and sturdier.
Thanks for the addy. They'll go out asap.
Thanks WOF. If I had known about your awesome Jango templates when I built the masters, they'd had been a lot more accurate!
...but they suffice for the kids.jedimites mom

seeing as I haven't been on here for awhile, visiting family for the holidays, computer issues......
imagine my surrprise when a box arrives from Cruzer!
She knew exactly what they were before she got the bubble wrap off!
We will have fun putting these together! (I hope)
I will now be using the search tool to find out what I am supposed to do!
Thank you so much Cruzer. There is a convention around here pretty soon my husband usually goes to, so the timing is perfect. She went with him before as a jedi and really enjoyed it.

I got brave last night and did some trimming. She enjoyed wearing them for a while. Rubber bands held them on for a bit.
We made a few stops around town for some parts. Still need to find a few more things, but now have an idea of where to go. Monday maybe.
Tonight, she did some sanding and her favorite part, rub & buff! She let me help a little. We found an old stiff paint brush really helped in the tight spots.
We had a little accident with the rocket. I will attempt to fix it later this weekend.

I can not believe I've missed this entire thread until now. I love mini-Fetts! You say your husband is a TK? She has to troop an event with him, he'll be completely upstaged! It'll be awesome.

I have not forgotten to get pictures up. I just kept putting off finishing the gauntlets. It just about killed me to start putting them together. I was so afraid I would mess them up!
Anyway they are together, for now. I still want to put a hinge on them.
She got to do her first troop at her school carnival tonight. She had a really good time, just got very hot.
She had a hard time eating. "I can't get my drink to my mouth!" She was only able to eat half her hot dog without help.
My son is the little Vader. He really wanted to dress up too, so we threw something together.
I can't tell you all how much I appreciate your help. You made her a very happy kid. Someday I hope she will pass on help to someone else in the same generous manner.
