Damn good job, man! But one question... what is that Sintra stuff? Doesn't see it anytime here in germany.

Hi Uhlakk, the plastic has a few names, Most in the USA know it as Sintra, but it is also called Foamex in some place's.. hope that helps...

And thanks fellow Hunters on you comments...

I'll add my voice to the chorus seeing as I somehow missed this thread before. And I'll say Damn!! Those gaunts look the biz. Never occured to me to do two sets of bladed gauntlets. Great idea and really nice execution (pun intended)
cheers

[sandnomad]

That's pretty f&%k n hot!!! nice work, I wish i could do **** like that......... very nice can't wait to see them all painted.........

 

[Valcar]

Well just an update on these Gaunts, I am almost done on the paint job on these. I will update with pics very soon..

 

[TiaJa]

Wow, great job! Yet another idea in mind now for my armor delema!! I will look around for this stuff most definately

 

[Valcar]

Well with much delight I can now say these Gauntlets are finished. The strangest thing was that when I picked up the green to do all my armour it was called Hunters Green.. To my horror when it was sprayed the green looked horrid. But with some brown town downs, and some dark wash's then the final Silver wash it all turned out good. So the rest of my armour is going to be done all the same way....

Here are the finsished Gauntlets....... Enjoy... The Blades look bright, they have been stain washed, the light outside was quite bright today.

The following 2 pics are before the silver wash, and show the destruct panel open and closed on my left Gauntlet.

Some other pics taken indoors

Thanks Dark Hunter. I have a bought a wolverine costume, and will be going the same route as many with the layering of latex onto it. I am going to make a Mannequin of myself using chicken wire. Then I will end up paper mashaying the wire after its all shaped. Then cover the mashay in duck tape, before putting the wolverine outfit on the mannequin. Thats the plan..

The blade pully handel was made out of a nut and bolt with a washer, and a PC Keyboard key for the button. This all moves along a wooden rod, with a housing that I made from the Sintra plastic.

I really go to say those really turned out KickAss. Unbelievable dude!!!

VEEEERY NICE WORK!

I've always wanted my predator to sport dual blade gauntlets as well & I've just worked out a deal w/ another member where that may soon become a reality for me too! I really love the basic concept behind having dual blade gaunts w/o any bomb gaunt whatsoever. I've always thought that its a very powerful statement of showing he's an ultimate Predator, a hunter that never gives in & never fails...no matter what!
I want to call it my "Super-Awesome-Ultra-Perfect-Dealer-Of-Massive-Instant-Death-Master-Killer-Hunter-Predator" (Dun-Dun-DUUUUUN)!!! Although, it's still just a wip title for now, cuz I think it's still a bit too "cute & cuddly" sounding.

 

[dark hunter]

hi valcar , just wondering what type of paint are you using for this sintra ?
