Holdfast Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Hi, I have seen that the glove thread has stalled so I decided to have a go myself at the glove. I made up some molds for the padding on the back of the hand and the nuckles and a mold for the bit on the wrist / arm. This was my first crack at ever pouring silicone. Usuallly I completely SNAFU things but I was pretty happy with my first go. Next time I need to do the color lighter and work more to get rid of the bubbles. Thanks for looking. Feedback please.
mrbungle Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 looks pretty cool but i would think the gloves need to be leather. just my 2 cents.
Holdfast Posted May 17, 2009 Author Posted May 17, 2009 Yeah, I know. I have about 3 different pairs that I am working with. That was just for illustration only, not the final pair. I have a pair of leather gloves to use, I just need to make the padding on the back of the hand and knuckles bigger. Thanks for the input.
Holdfast Posted June 16, 2009 Author Posted June 16, 2009 Well Guys, I have finished my gloves to a point where I am happy with them at the moment. I based them off Angelo's gloves, I hope you don't mind buddy, as I am looking at your trooper for guidance. Any and all feedback welcome.
mrbungle Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 they look pretty good except i like the front pads better on the first pair you did. the pads need to be seperate and a little smaller.
Holdfast Posted June 16, 2009 Author Posted June 16, 2009 Thanks for the feedback. I will work on it before approval.
Lonescout Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Hey, no problem Tony....we are hear to help each other out...so build away!
Holdfast Posted June 17, 2009 Author Posted June 17, 2009 Thanks Angelo. I really like the pics from SWW. I checked out the footage from previous SWW on youtube. I am definately coming out for that next year.
Acrylikhan Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 I like the pads of the first one as well. Great job! What type of glove are you using for a base?
Heatshock Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 looks pretty cool there mate been wondering whether is the alternate way round the whole glove problem 1st set of pads look much better.
Holdfast Posted June 21, 2009 Author Posted June 21, 2009 looks pretty cool there mate been wondering whether is the alternate way round the whole glove problem 1st set of pads look much better. Yeah, I liked the first set but the main problem is the base glove. The gloves in the first pic are material and not leather, and the padding I cut out of the top was smaller. The second pair are leather, but the padding on the back was big and entirely the wrong shape to just colour. I had to cut it out and cover it with the silicone pad that I poured. I am going back to look for a better base glove and to redo the padding on the back of the hand. Thanks for the input. Any reccomendations where I can get a better glove feel free to tell me.
Heatshock Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 been starting to look at gauntlets - like the LARP guys use. longer sleeve. then thinking of the nice back-of-hand pads u got rouge. gauntlets like these - u guys must have equivalent shops in US http://www.silvermans.co.uk/LargeImage.asp...ges/70653-1.jpg or these! http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...ntryGB%26um%3D1 heres a nice pic just to break the monotomy of glove hunting http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images...bbon-corset.jpg I also thought abt fencing gloves, they got the nice length, plus the single pad at back, but they only ever come in white just by the by (not even close to being a candidate for a KST glove) - came across this site in my glove search. man those have got to be the best looking gardenign gloves I have ever did see!!!!! http://www.gardentribe.co.uk/home.php?cat=250
