Hello! I'm new and I could use some help, advice, guidance, etc.

Hello everyone! I've visited this website many countless times before joining and have been impressed and inspired by the many different Boba Fett creations here. I have been inspired to start my own full set of ROTJ Boba Fett apparel. I have done my fair share of research on this website; going through many different threads, forums, etc. but I don't think it's enough.

I have already bought myself the perfect Boba Fett helmet. The only thing I need to do is paint it and everything, but that's a piece of cake. I will confess; I am completely clueless when it comes to where to begin/ how to start, the process, or even the material to use for gauntlets, and thats what I really really need right now. (As far as I know, the gauntlets are one of the more architectural parts of the armor.)

I ask for any sort of help and advice from whoever is willing to provide. With enough time and effort, and everyone's wisdom, I know this outfit will be amazing!

Feel free to PM me and what not.
 
The gauntlets can be daunting at first for sure. Man Of War studios makes gauntlet kits for ROTJ and ESB. He can be found on here or on Ebay. A lot of people use his kits and are very happy with them. In fact there should be a few really good build threads with them. If you plan on making your own gauntlets try to research as much as you can. I've never searched for scratch built gauntlets on here but I'm certain someone has done it.
 
There are templates in the other section tutorial sections, but I like Cruzer's gaunts - if you have the budget, look them, up!
 
I have some pictures and videos of my scratch built gauntlets in my build thread. I used the templates here on the website and Malaxor's scratch built gauntlet thread as my source photos for several of the more confusing parts. My build is ESB but the templates out there are for ROTJ so you are set.
