Here is a blueprint for my gauntlet build. I spent a ton of time really studying photos from the Arkham Scarecrow from Prime Studios to figure out this gauntlet.
It was not easy!
A very talented friend of mine sculpted a professional quality foam latex scarecrow prosthetic and shipped me a couple of them to use while in costume.
here are some photos from his application. Hope mine turns out half as good. I will add some contact lenses to mine as well
Created the fear injectors from ink refill syringes and I mil styrene plastic sheeting. Still need to fill with orange gel and add all the hoses. Then attach to a glove strap.
spent about an hour working on a blueprint for the leg brace.
first step was to import a photo of the leg and then scale it to the proportions of my leg.
then disect all the individual pieces for construction. I will probably sandwich three sheets of sintra to create a piece that is 3/8 thick for the main vertical bar.
Another option is to use an actual aluminum bar. I will see what works best and weigh that with speed an ease of fabrication time.
I printed the whole sha-bang at actual size so I can start work
I built all of the fear gel canisters from different diameters of PVC pipe. I used a Dremel to cut the oval window
painted them with an aluminum paint then wash them with black and then highlighted them with a rub and buff cream paste to simulate the metal
I filled these little test tubes with hair gel that had food coloring in it I am going to hot glue them into the PVC canister tanks to give the illusion that they are all the way full
began work on the vest.
the base is made from EVA foam that I covered in leather using contact cement as the adhesive.
It's going to require lots of finishing in the way of
• adding a fabric panel to both sides
• adding straps to attach
• screwing the fear tanks on from the back
• adding the strapping to the fear tanks
• applying the appropriate oval rings, rivets and grommets where needed
• attaching the shoulder test tubes of fear gel
• painting and weathering
