Gloves:
This past week, I worked on the gloves as I got them back recently
from Villianworks (Major via BHG), whose mother got the quilting sewen on for me.
The main goal was to tint the quilting fabric to match the refs. To do this, I boiled some water and added a tea bag, hoping that would counter any pink hue the Coco Brown RIT dye likes to do, as I knew excess dye was going to be released from the gloves. After a test it looked good and I went for it. I'm happy with the results
Before
After:
I'll need to go back and add a snapp button closure and darken the circle patches
State of the build:
Did a partial suit up yesterday to see how things fit. I'm so happy with the aesthetic & getting to look like how the PP2 model wears the gear. We're getting close, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably seen a few of these. Here some unreleased ones also.
Next time I do this suit up, the Armor will be attached, plus the jetpack. To note, these are not the finale gauntlets- but I do partially love the narrowness of the right one.
