mrbungle Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 what is up with the glove greeb??? do you have that molded yet??
Acrylikhan Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 yep. First casting is a 42A durometer urethane with a gray colorant.
Lonescout Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 what is up with the glove greeb??? do you have that molded yet?? I have had my set a month a go! Tom, we were waiting for you to create the two pads on the hand! These are very nice and durable!
mrbungle Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 i need to know the size of the top of the glove ( hand)to make it.
Acrylikhan Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I was wondering if the pad could be made from leather, and then dyed appropriately. The Leather Factory does sell a variety of dyes and leather "paints" for leather working. I'm checking with a leather worker here in Chicago about these gloves. He's very busy, so it might take a while to get in a talk with him about the project. I'm more nervous about the final price! I'm still looking for a tactical glove to mod.

The Leather Factory does sell a variety of dyes and leather "paints" for leather working. I went to both Tandy Leather's in my area and should have thought about the type of leather for the gloves. My mind was set on getting the leather for the inside of the thighs. I think that would work with making the pad from leather and dyeing the leather. Both locations do not know of a glove maker in my area!
mrbungle Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 you guys look like you have this glove thing covered. with the armor build and helmet build and building a vacform table. i don;t really have time to work on glove greebs. Acrylikhan sculpted those just fine ,why can't he do the rest and let me be a lazy bastard and buy what i need from him. :)

mrbungle Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 what do you want to know about fiberglass other than it itches?
Lonescout Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Let me get through my fiberglassing training first! I am about done! Don't tell me I have to wait on gloves! Between the both of you that should be like baking a cake! :lol: :lol:
mrbungle Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 you have to wait like the rest of us.
Acrylikhan Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 what do you want to know about fiberglass other than it itches? Not only that... but is SMELLS BAD!!! The resin anyway... A have a few friends that have been repairing airplanes, watercraft, and sports cars, mold making, and making armor for years. They've taken me in, and have completely shattered my conceptions of fiberglassing. They're helping me repair and alter my Kashyyyk armor to fit me better, and to alter for screen accuracy. I've got some nasty stress cracks that I have to reinforce and repair. They've found some bad delamination, so we're working to fix that too. I won't see them until next month for more work to do on the armor, and for fitting. where was I... I got off track, again. Oh, yeah, still waiting for the leather guy to call. Lonescout... do you have something already for the glove?
Heatshock Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Frank - I am gonna be lazy too and say - hurry up so I can spend my money! waiting to see results man Nate
Lonescout Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Not only that... but is SMELLS BAD!!! The resin anyway... Lonescout... do you have something already for the glove? Tell me about the smell! I know! I also had a crack on my pack tank which i bondoed and repaired. I have had no luck with a glove maker!
