No photos sorry. I buy backer board from Kinkos. It's like the cardboard on the back of a note book. I spray glue the WOF blue prints to the backer board and cut out the parts. But instead of putting the parts together to get the right look on the outside, I build them to get the out side look on the inside. The way the WOF plans are designed, you make the top and bottom curved pieces, then build the structures on the top of the top curved pieces, I basically cut a hole in the top curved parts so I can see the inside of the top structure.
I to create the curved pieces, I cut a rectangle that is narrower at one end out of corrugated card board that matches the length of the gauntlet. I then cut 2 square pieces of card board and in those I cut out a U shape for the front and back opening of the gauntlet top or bottom. I then tape or glue those to the cut out rectangle. Make sense? It is the support structure for each curved part. This get done 4 times.
I had to widen the U shape parts. In the bottom half's, I put in double layered rectangles made from the backer board. These become the recessed rectangles seen on the gauntlets when the fiberglass part is pulled. Does this help?
Also, when I made these molds, I added all kinds of support on the outside. It only matters what these cardboard molds look like on the inside. I used elmer's glue and masking tape to assemble molds. I then rubbed in some mink oil. The mold will not get soft from this. I then work bondo into any small sharp corners and details as fiberglass matt does not work into these details very well. I then layer in 3-4 layers of resin and matt. I do not use the woven fiberglass as you have to cut that. The matted stuff easily tears apart and ypi can put in the best sized pieces as you go. I use a mask and latex gloves as much possible when working with this stuff. I then tear away the cardboard mold in pieces. If they are stubborn, I get them wet and scrape them of with a knife. The pulls from the mold can look sloppy, but some bondo and sanding can make the final part look pretty good. I have had some scoffers at this method, but it works.
