[QUOTE="slave1pilot, post: 121622, member: 444"] I said they were FettPride recasts because I believe that's what they are. I got them on ebay & don't remember the seller. It was a long time ago I don't know for sure if they are recasts, But I wanted to give an accurate list of what parts I had used when i put my costume together Postmortem01 is a friend of mine & yes he does have a set of your gauntlets. No these are not them.Nor were they recast by him I showed him the set i had & asked him for help in fixing them. He said that he thought they were recasts due to their poor quality & to just get some new ones. He showed me his real ones & they look the same, except mine are made of resin( I think yours were Fiberglass) & are really thin in spots & too thich in others. I bought a set of Ruffkintoy's gauntlets from Chuck since I had bought sets from him before (painted, assembled, & sold on ebay) I had every intention of using the Ruffkins, but they seemed oversized & the details a little soft ( that's 1 reason I said "sorry Bros" in my first post, the other is to you & the community for using recasts) So I went back to the recasts to see how bad they actually were. They needed a ton of work & the only parts that were salvagable were the top shells & the right bottom shell. The extra parts & greeblies were full of bubbles & warped. So I threw all of them out The left bottom shell is a Ruffkintoy, as is the missile & top hose connector for the right gauntlet. I think the Dental expander is too. The Flamethrower is a complete scratchbuild, as is the whipcord attachment. I made these myself ( kinda proud of that actually ;) ) I did the assembly, wiring, & painting too of course. Quite a long story, but I wanted to ease everyone's minds And thanks for the compliments & not jumping in & yelling "RECASTER ALERT!!!" [/QUOTE]
