GLOVES: Wampa Wear is the obvious go-to, but I was intrigued by Endor Finders trying to more closely mimic the Esprit gloves what with the included zippers. Ordering was very easy but I did notice that a few sizes were out of stock, I'm not sure how often these are getting produced. I was between a size Small and Medium according to the size chart; I endored ended up getting a size Small and they fit pretty well (even a little on large side). Shipping was very quick and the gloves appear to be very well made. So far, I would recommend these if you don't mind the increased price and a little extra work to remove the zippers. More pockets!!! So about that zipper... To remove the zipper, I used the same method Aradun recommended in his thread here: This was a great resource and I probably wouldn't have gotten these gloves if it weren't for this topic. I considered cutting the zipper like some other posters, but ultimately went with the flathead + knife approach. Personally, I prefer the look with the nylon zipper attachment intact and way it affects the form of the gloves, but I may cut them out later if they are a problem for approval or durability (I would like to go for Lancer status eventually). I'll probably cut the zipper pulls on the wrist at some point as well. All in all, very happy with these gloves. At some point, I may look into modifying a pair of Esprits since they don't seem too uncommon on Ebay. Apologies if that's a photo overload!

Greetings everyone, Like most build threads, this is one a long time coming; I think I've been lurking and researching this costume on and off for 10+ years (at least since the bikerscout.net days) and I'm finally in a place to get started. Now that pieces are ordered and the first piece has arrived (gloves), I thought I'd start documenting; here's the full vendor list: Helmet: RS Prop Masters Armor: RS Prop Masters Soft Parts: KriptonTop Balaclava: NB Tactical Boots: Crowprops Gloves: Endor Finders EC-17: RS Prop Masters (considering keeping this on display and printing, molding, and casting one for use) I'd like to build a DLT-19x to go with it eventually. I've seen some recommendations for surfinbird132's model, but unfortunately it seems they've taken it down from thingaverse/cults3d in the last month or two - does anyone have recommendations for an alternative?
