I'm using 3mm craft foam from Hobby Lobby. An 12"x18" sheet is $0.99. You can sort of see the label in my pics. I believe the brand is Silly Works.
As for 7sinzz's question, my intent is to either make or find a pair of thin material (satin, silk, thin poly) gloves that will go at least 2"-3" past my wrist. I've viewed a few tutorials on YouTube about making gloves, but haven't had a chance to see what the material cost would be. Then, for the areas between the finger plates on the palm side, I am going to try out cutting 2mm thick foam into very thin strips to create the ribbed effect. I was initially going to use flexible wiring loom, but the plastic is too stiff and won't bend enough to my liking. I intend to glue the strips of 2mm foam directly to the exposed "under glove" area. Should give me the look I'm after and still maintain finger dexterity.

I bought these : MARVEL IRON MAN MARK 7 DELUXE GLOVES ADULT ONE SIZE LICENSED 43718 IRON MAN 2 | eBay to wear under, I couldn't find anything else that would give me the right "tubing" pattern for the exposed part of fingers. Should aslo cover the wrist junction well.

You could also, at the cost of being able to make a tight fist, buy some of the actual tubing, paint it red, and cut it in half.

That's a neat idea.

That, brother, is EXACTLY what I needed.what do you need? it's really simple the two little ends go together and you score the foam on the inside so it bends easy
Red is how it glues together and green is where you score(from the bottom) so it folds easier
Thanks!

How would I increase the scale for my monster hands bro
Got my 3mm foam today, but finishing a biceps took all the time I had, so I'll give it a try tomorrow ! I'm very excited about this.
Do you think it would be impossible to put on if I coat it in smooth on 65D urethane ? It's a slightly flexible plastic, but I'm afraid it won't be enough to go the velcro way... How does people with hard resin hands do to put them on ? It doesn't seem large enough to slip your hand through like a regular glove to me ?

If I were going to do plastic coated hand plates, I would keep them two separate pieces.
So you'd keep the palm of the hand separated from the top ? Tricky with the knuckles, thought if you cut it after the plastic coating, it should hold it's shape... From there, the two parts could be attached to the underglove with velcro, for easy mounting and access to the repulsor. I like this, I'll experiment tomorrow, though I haven't got my undergloves yet.
