Re: Cyberman - at last!! IN FOAM!!!
WOW! That holiday season really takes all your free time away! Ok, back to work, Gallifray is right around the corner! I finally got to the gloves, here is the patterning process.
These are the gloves I use as a base, they are wal-mart specials, got them in 3 pack. I start with a 1/8" foam base for the detail styling, I only wrapped the top of the glove, I've found that in the past, keeping the palm uncovered helps in gripping things.
Now the top details, this I did in 1/4", just to give the gloves more definition.
Now the fun part, the fingertips are different from the thumbs. The pattern is simple, I "v" cut the tops so when I glue them it gives it that "fasceted" look. Then I glue a strip on the bottom to seal it and create "tips" for gluing on.
Next is the REALLY fun part, I made the each finger to have 2 sections, then the tip, but on the thumb it's only one and it looks like I will have to trim the pinky too.
So that's it so far, have to finish the rest of the fingers and then vinyl dip and paint.
