Message: <blockquote data-quote="slave1pilot" data-source="post: 121622" data-attributes="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 agoI 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 togetherPostmortem01 is a friend of mine & yes he does have a set of your gauntlets.No these are not them.Nor were they recast by himI 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 outThe 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 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> )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!!!"</blockquote>
