Jaing's Gauntlet Pep Build
« on: May 07, 2011, 09:53 AM »
First off hi there everyone, ok I didn't design them skip did.  Right now i have the 2nd layer of resin curing, I might fiberglass/and or rondo the inside, but i definitely will resin.  I plan to put a little pullcord off the side as a mock"cable for capturing", a prop knife to attach, and the rocket to go on the left gaunt. Any tips or ideas will be appreciated ;)

Hard to tell from just the one pic, but it looks like good work there ;D. I see nice crisp lines and all that good stuff. I'd probably fiberglass the inside, if you only resin'd the outside, just to make sure you're not going to bump something at an event and crack anything. Even solid resin gaunts can take more damage than you'd like if you get hit the right (or wrong, depending on your perspective) way.

Ben: Sorry, Uncle Han said it was always a good idea to have one--
Luke: Your uncle isn't a jedi. I wish you'd remember that.

thanks guys,  i did in fact fiberglass the inside :) and i am sanding and bondoing the right gaunt.  oh and ranovla it is an Army of Two Mask i started working on a few years back, it was my first pep project so i fiberglassed it warped(i was stupid then) i didn't use bracers so its been in the fiberglassed stage ready for bondo ever since.  I haven't touched it in a year.
