TK2280, you're to kind. I'm glad you like em though. I should have them in the mail by Wednesday. I still need to make a mold of the flamethrower and darts, and then pull your copies. The silicone doesn't arrive until Monday or else I would have had it done this weekend. Also, when the missile arrives from Dark-Side, I'll put one of the copies in the mail for you.

slave1pilot, thanks. I wish I had a full sized set. Maybe soon.

firstsonofsolo, that's a good question! This is the first complete pair I've made from the molds and I still have to make a few more molds of other pieces which will include a Boba style flamethrower (can be seen in the initial post) and ripcord housing (still need to make it). The lefty comes in a Boba style with the keypad area and has to be trimmed for a Jango (see pic below).

Once I calculate how much material and time goes into make a pair in kit form, I'll have a price. I'm currently experimenting with an aluminum filled resin and high-density foam construction for the shells to decrease the weight and get away from using fiberglass. One of my aims it to minimize the fabrication time so I can offer them at a very low price since they are for kid's costumes. However, this particular pair I sold to TK2280 for $125 shipped (hopefully he doesn't mind me saying this).

Thanks,
Cruzer

Here are the last of the progress pics I thought I'd share. I really enjoyed this project. I spent so much time on them I felt kinda reluctant to box em up and ship em off today.

I was happy with how the resin copy of the flamethrower turned out. It weathered up nicely. And by hollowing it out a little, I was able to decrease it's weight to 1 oz. less than the master.

I look forward to the next pair, so who's next?

Enjoy,
Cruzer

I was going to ask in PM then deceided to ask publicly. What are the dimensions of these little guys? Length and inner diameters?

Yeah, sure!

Gauntlet specs:

Left gauntlet (Boba style with keypad area):
length 7.25"
front opening (across x height on all) 2.125" x 2"
back opening 3.5" x 3.125"

Right gauntlet:
length 6.5"
front opening 2.25" x 2"
back opening 3.5" x 3.25"

These dimensions were taken while holding the two halves together with no hinges. Keep in mind the openings will increase/decrease depending on whether or not you recess the hinges and/or trim down the shells.

Also, for Jango style, the left gauntlet will be shortened 3/4"-7/8" after cutting off the keypad area.

And both gauntlets can be trimmed down to approximately 6 1/8"-6 1/4" lengths and still preserve the accurate details in the front and back. Any more than that and you'd start cutting off details like the "lips" in the front of both gauntlets and/or undercutting the rocket/hose attachments in the backs.

TK2280's gauntlets were both trimmed down to approximately 6 1/4" to accomodate his son's arms.

I've just taken on two orders of the kid gauntlets and am in the middle of two holster orders, as well as working on another similar special project build. So when I begin to wrap things up in a couple of weeks, I'll take on a few more orders of the kid gauntlets if anyone's interested.

Thanks
Cruzer

Just wanted to say Thanks again to Cruzer and all his hard work on this project. He has done a wonderfull job on the gauntlets and I can not thank him enough. They will be the parts that make my sons Jango stand out. With out Gauntlets like this the costume would end up falling short. any one who has a chance to get a pair should jump at it while they can. The workmanship and time put into the detail make them stand out as much as the full size adult sets. Cruzer, Thank you again for all your hard work and time spent on this project.

Cruzer, also has made my son one h3ll of a Jango girth belt as well. Thank you for doing that. It was a suprise to see it in the box with the gauntlets.

You Must be a Genius Cruzer, I am new to Star Wars and I decided on doing Jango and your stuff is the best I have seen. :cheers When your stuff becomes a little cheaper I may have to hop on board, right now I am getting the basic stuff taken care of.
