Ok, so i had a go at making a claw since nobody makes them.

No laughing, i've never made anything out of sheet brass before, it's ok
for a first atempt, but needs to be wider at the tip.

Sorry about the pics too, i couldn't find my camera so i had to use my phone.:eek

I need a better way to roll the brass (i rolled it around a magic marker)

Thanx dude:rolleyes

Does anyone know what the glove is made of is it a fabric or maybe chanmail ?

I'm pretty sure it's chainmail, and the claws look great, and dangerously sharp! Lol

 

[kwalsh0000]

To me the material at a glance looks like fabric or some sort of mesh just with a metallic colour added to it. For proper chain maille though it would more than likely be...

The links to the claws look like real chain though.

Thanx for the links, i was just looking on ebay for a butchers maille glove.

It shouldn't look too bad with the fingers and thumb removed. If it is chainmail
is it brass or copper plated? looks more like brass to me.

I'm going to order one of these from wilcomodels.

Also i need to replace the clear stone with a nice sapphire oval cabochon.

You probably want #5 "ring mesh" from here- http://whitinganddavis.com/Products_ring.htm (sprayed or Rub n' Buffed copper)for the glove part, and you can probably find the exact chain here- http://providencechain.com/

I just did sort of a forensic reconstruction of the screen shot above, and I'm beginning to think my castings of the wrist and hand plates aren't as undersized as I first thought...

For your first attempt, this claw looks really great!
Do You plan to make it look "used" and old like in the movie?

@Sarge,

Thanx for the links, the #5 does look good, i don't know if my skills would stretch to making my own glove from it though !!:eek

@Peter P.

Yes, i want it to look weathered and old like in the movie. It's ok for a first attempt, i want
to make it as accurate as my limited skills allow.... (o:

So what size do you guys think the stones are in the rings ?

I think these look good 18mm x 13mm.

Hmmm Look good. I will check em out.

 

[spacemarine]

I was looking at some more screen caps and it seems that the claws
are all different sizes ? Am i imagining this or what ?

The one i have looks about right for the thumb.

[spacemarine]

Well that'll teach me not to do my research, i made all my claws and contacted a plating company about getting them brass plated (to cover the solder seams). It turns out plating will not stick to Lead solder it has to be Lead free solder. So i have to start again now....cry:cry

Good luck in your new attempt! :thumbsup
