From Workshop
Share on FacebookThe gauntlets are the first major part of the suit to be built from scratch by me. Using the armor templates available on The Dented Helmet, I built them out of no parking signs, Bondo, glue and love.
The result wasn't wearable, but served as the masters from which silicone molds were made. What you'll see on this page is the progression from a no parking sign to a finished and wearable set of Return of the Jedi style Boba Fett gauntlets.
