TB-7076 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 So I took a photo of one pair of my gloves I found suitable and photoshoped what alterations I have to make to make them look as a barc glove: Original: (I took the right one as example -> grey rubber attachment up side) And here my gloves photoshoped: This will be my base gloves (Hein Gericke), pretty much the equivalent of a certain JC model I think. The zipper will be covered by the wrist strapping and the knuckle pads by the olive leather pads. [ The extra gauntlet has to be attached on the original gauntlet. I used the same technique for my AT-ST glove so that'll work. I guess the grey thing on the gauntlet has to be rubber casted and sewed on. Better would be integrated but I guess that's a bit too much. The wrist strap should be some flexible plastic - I'm still unsure about the buckle there and how to mimic that technique. I know it's possible but I can't think of a ready to use system in that compressed shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaVe Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Madphisto, That is an awesome breakdown and mock-up of the BARC glove. I was getting ready to order a different set of gloves this weekend, but I might wait. Do you know of a supplier for the gloves that you have shown in your post? I was going to order these deerskin gauntlets... I am curious... How do you intend to get that puffy-cuff look with your gloves? Are you planning to add padding to the inside of the forearms?

TB-7076 Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Just compare to the renderings.... I think these "commando" like gloves are too thin and don't reflect the material as shown in the rendering. Regarding the pads - there are two options though I think only one would really match the rendering. 1. using hard shell paddings such as Mike's example in the other thread. 2. adding leather paddings. Look at the rendering - the material of main glove and padding are the same. Going this way is probably the more difficult one but I never went the easy way . Maybe Ladyghst can say something about how to realise such leather padding. I changed the padding tone a bit on the glove: I wish changing and creating props would be so easy in real life as in photoshop hehe.

Ghst915 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hey Mad they have those deerskin gloves with liners in then for a few more bucks, they look a little more full like they should be. I think we can still use them as a base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaVe Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Ross, I think those lined-deerskin gloves will work well. I know I posted them originally, but I ended up ordering a completely different set of leather gauntlets. I went with these from Moto DirectUSA. I couldn't pass on the price. 1226 Leather Motorcycle Riding Glove - ~$14.00 They run alittle tight so I've had to exchange my first set for a larger size (2XL). I should have them by next week. This glove already has a leather wrist strap. I figure I can cover it up with a gray nylon strap for screen accuracy. I am just going to glue some scrap brown leather to the knuckles for the pads on the hand. Also for the forearm cuff, I've purchased an old black leather jacket from a thrift store ($4). I'm going to cut a section of the sleaves off and hook it to the glove with snaps. I figure it should end just about 2" to 4" from my elbow. I'll post WIP pics.

DaVe Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I got my gloves last week... Here are the forearm pieces. I picked up an old black leather jacket at a thrift store... $4. They are not trimmed to size yet. The plan is to trim them to my forearm size, lightly pad them with foam, do a cut out for the rubber piece and glue the rubber piece in place. I'm thinking about using snaps on the underside to attach the forearms to the gloves. A little dark brown and green paint applied with a sponge or blotted with a paper towel. I got me some'BARC'gloves'a'coming... I still have yet to find something for the gray wrist strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
