Slowly adding minor details to the gauntlets. They're almost done
Got in my shapeways shipment finally. Gauntlet darts and dental expander
Got the darts painted silver and hotglued in. I think they might be slightly too high off the gauntlet but I like the look so I'm gonna keep it
Got the dental expander drilled out, assembled, painted, and attached
So this is where I'm at aesthetically
Also used a dremel and pliers to shape that extra length of micro pvc.
Filled the inner part, carved out the cross shape, then painted, and attached
Not terrible
I need to figure out how to attach the hoses to the whipcord tubes, but I'm not prioritizing that right now. Aside from that, my right one is done!
Since my next step is to attach the two halves of the left gauntlet, I cut out my notches now. One in the side of the flamethrower, one in the top of the gaunt
Learning from the other gauntlet, I decided to put the magnets in before the hinges
I tested them and they seem like they're be slightly too weak, so I might have to add more magnets or figure out a different system to keep it closed.
All I have left is to finish that and then install hinges.
I'll be getting the flamethrower emitters soon (they're being shipped). Then eventually I need a gauntlet rocket, and to put in the flashing LED/toggle switch and the two momentary switches
Once I have the hinges on I will be ready to move on to the armor and I'll put the finishing touches on the gauntlet as I'm able to.
