Looks great! have you found a source for the gasket / o-ring? working on mine right now and looking for the o-ring. Let me know if you know where I can get one. thanks and awesome build!

This faceplate is actually painted using Krylon Brass spray paint. It's a metallic brass colored paint that doesn't include the metallic flakes like other metallic spray paints. It's a flat brass metallic paint. I'm impressed with this paint. After I painted this faceplate I did some subtle...

That’s a fair point regarding folks that never delivered what they said they would and I’ve unfortunately dealt with that too. I suppose your wording about hoarding money was an odd way to word your concerns. And my main feedback is that I’m approachable and I’m a stand up person. Your post...

Hey Marsupial Just wanted to clarify that when you asked me about starting an interest thread for my 3D modeled and printed faceplates and my reply to your question was back in April about that was on my todo list so I don't know why you quoted me and commented that I was "hoarding" money. I...

No not yet. But it’s on my todo list. Been busy with work and family.

The faceplate will be 3D printed in PLA.

Thanks Serenity. I'll get a thread started after the test print.

I'm dusting off this thread to share the faceplate that I 3D modeled. If anyone is interested in my faceplate I'll start an interest thread. I designed this to fit the wheatly box. Let me know what you all think. Thanks!

One of my goals on this build is to put silver liquid inside the large glass dome part and motorize a method to churn or mix the silvery liquid around. it's a challenge that I'm going to try and solve. I already have an idea involving a low RPM brushless motor that turns a rod with some little...

Hey there FrockTarts! Subscribed to this thread, can't wait to see this come together. Mike already said it but I can't resist PICS PICS PICS! LOL

Here's what I've worked on so far: First thing I did was spend time taking notes, sketching ideas and sorting out measurements. I also finally found the bearing that I'll use for the "spinning gear", the large metal ring that rotates. The bearing is for lazy susans. I found it on...

Dusting off this old build thread to share that I started a new Mecha-Glove build thread. A couple of weeks ago I decided to do a full rebuild of my glove with new and improved parts and materials. You can check out the new thread here: My Hellboy Mecha-Glove v3 Upgrade (full rebuild)

In January of 2015 I started building my "old parts / junk parts" Hellboy Mecha-Glove prop replica. Here's the old build thread: On Hand Materials, Old Parts, Junk Parks Hellboy Mecha-Glove Build In 2016 I upgraded my mecha-glove. Working on this prop on and off for the past four years has...

Bummer that I just saw this post. Would have loved to be a part of this. Good luck and I'll keep an eye out for next year.

I know it's been awhile since I posted. I've been pretty busy with my day job and my client work. I've recently got back to some more work on the 3D model, so when I have more to show I'll post some updates. I'm happy that I'm not the only one that's interested in this prop. Thanks
