right /left gauntlet, cuff & hand armor W.I.P...

[Dustin Crops Boy]

i started on the right gauntlet this weekend:

it's all styrene right now - but i will cast it in fiberglass with an opening hinge. The leather ring on the top of the gaunt will be made separately.

but i need a better pic of this area:

I couldn't get that detail at MOM - as it was facing away from the glass. Anyone have a better pic¿

WOW! Those look great. Very nice work. Keep posting pics as you progress.

YES - finding a better picture of THAT detail

 

[Cutest Sandgirl]

Looking great Dallas!

 

[TheWookie]

Looks great, Dallas. In fact, it looks exactly like the one I did the first time. Look at the following picture:

See how the top edge is at an angle and the bottom edge leaves the detail you are looking for at an angle? I ended up resculpting to get a more spial effect at the bottom. This is the best picture of the detail you are looking for that I could find.

Here is the one I started for my wife. Just gotta figure out how to make that flared part on te left one =)

 

[Zam I Am]

That's really nice! Did you make it out of aluminum? It doesn't look like painted sintra...

 

[Mavrik]

nope, its just painted sintra =) weathered of course! Thanks for the compliment.

Ok I am way Envyous now

 

[Zam I Am]

I'm on the same trail as Austin... where do we sign? hehe

 

[Dustin Crops Boy]

they aint gonna be the styrene that they are now. The originals are fiberglass - these will be fiberglass Remember - i'm trying to get as close to 100% accurate as possible

 

[Mavrik]

DCB, if you come up with any ideas on the upper left gauntlet cuff, please share. This one has had me stumped aside from sculpting it out of sclupy or something. =)

[Appolo_50]

Wow! I think it looks great, although I am not a big Zam fan so I don't know about the accuracy
