it's all styrene baby 
i cut and layered and cut and layered and cut and layered some more... then filled in the holes, gaps, imperfections with bondo® brand "glazing putty" and plumber's epoxy putty. sanded - more putty - more sanding... primed it - more putty - more priming.... ugh.
the "cups" inside the gauntlets are for casting purposes.
none of the pieces shown are going to be used as-is... they will ALL be cast in fiberglass or (except the cuff - which will be in vacuformed styrene then covered in leather). I also still need to make the trim that goes around the right cuff and the piece that goes in the "U" notch on that gaunt - but neither of these can be made until AFTER i have the gaunt cast in f-glass - so i know how thick they will be.
