Been wanting to do my own version of the Shocker for a while now, a mixture of all my favourite versions while keeping it more grounded and less comicbooky so to speak. Something that a normal person could put together with limited help and not something Billionaire or military made.
So armed with the overall look I was going for ( More leaning towards an evolving version of the MCU version) my first point of call were The Vibro-Smashers. In the comics they are not just ranged weapons but increase the Shocker's Strength by 12 which is how he's able to trade blows with superhumans. I kinda wanted something with a bit of heft to it and not quite refined so opted for The Vibro-Smasher (Crossbone's surviving gauntlet enhance with alien tech) from Homecoming.
Using the Art of Movie books as the main reference points, the Gauntlests are largely made from 10mm, 5mm and 2mm eva form. i started adding 'real' items such as screws, nuts and washers as they give them a more believable look.
not gonna lie they are absolute beasts. I do plan on adding all the lights after the main stuff is done.
And here's the point to where i'm at. As you can see i do plan on making them fold up too
