Gauntlets for mannequin

Hey guys just looking for suggestions on ideas for cheap ROTJ gauntlets for my display mannequin, won't be used for trooping on for display purposes.
 
Describe, cheap. You still pay the same price for trooping or display gauntlets. It all depends all on how accurate you want it to be with looks and materials. The price is the same for both purposes. Most "cheap" gauntlets run $300+ with resin details. You'll spend a lot more with real found parts and machined metal details.
Keep looking in the cargo hold.

The cheapest you're gonna find is to build your own with templates located on this website. Not sure what your skillset is but if its within your ability to do I highly recommend it,

That $300+ range seems to have been the going rate for gaunts for years. Just remember that you do get what you pay for when looking for bargains. Most sellers on this site are probably safe, but keep this in mind when searching eBay.

If you do build your own you can usually contact some of the regular gauntlet makers to purchase casts of some of the harder/"fiddlier" parts such as rocket, MQ keypad, dental expander etc.

Hope this helps! Good Luck!
