My Foam Batman Gauntlets

[cdkealey]

I recently caught the foam/"foamies" gauntlet bug and have made a couple so far that I thought I might share. I love the simplicity of this way of making gauntlets, with little time and money while still being able to get a decent result.

[cdkealey]

Thanks guys.

R1racing- sure, which one(s) would you like?

Nakai- It probably took 2-3 hours for the first pair I ever made and then got faster- about an hour a pair after.

I know this thread hasn't been used for a while, but, if it's possible, could you put up a template for the Batman Begins gauntlet? Thanks!

The Batman Begins gauntlet template is in the above 'home.comcast' link, starting on page 20

Ooh okay I missed that the first time. Thanks!

Your foam gauntlets look fantastic!

How do you adhere the layers together? Hot glue?

I'm making a series of short films with a superhero type character... I've never really looked into doing parts of the armor in foam...

Do you know a good place I could find a guid for making a cowl, Batman style, that I can use as a base?

Thanks!

Sealed- thanks! I use a type of superglue called Rhino Glue.

Neo- I don't have experience making a cowl yet, and I don't know that foam would work well for this because of all the curved details. But here are two links I found:
Duct Tape Batman Mask
Batman - FoamTastic Props
