looking real nice man.Good job!!!!
Let me know how you are going to make the missile cause i did a set of gauntlets out of metal, and i am trying to avoid buying a missile.i would love to know a good method for making a scratch missile.

I was planning on basing the missle off of a 7-8" bolt with found items from lowes or home depot. I figure I could probably make due with that. As far as the cones go I might be looking at shower heads, lawn sprinklers, or even cookware. It also might be carved wood parts for the cones.

I think I have a good plan for missiles.Just get a dowel with that diameter, and mold the cone,and the rear part out of epoxy putty.
That should do the trick.Use a pencil to add the little holes, and strips of lighter wood for the shaft.
Cheap, and easy, and I will bet that it looks just as good.Even better if I can get a hold of a metal tube with that diameter, then I can get to the hobby store for aluminum peices for the shaft.even better.

Yeah...I was following it pretty closely at first and then realized how old it was and I don't think the guy that posted it is even a member here anymore

Except it was revised when another member posted pics of his scratch built guants a couple of weeks ago.

Just scroll down about halfway.
