Grumpy Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I'm about dead tired of making Kashyyyk Trooper gloves. I just did a pair for a friend that's currently making a Kashyyyk Trooper. I've also made a set for my wife. (You might have already seen them in the build thread for her Kashyyyk Trooper.) And I made a set for my daughter, because I'm making a mini-Kashyyyk Trooper costume for her. And then I made a set for my son. He already has a Shocktrooper, but also wants to be a Kashyyyk Trooper, also. (He's worn my armor before, so now he wants his own.) Plus, I made a new pair for myself. I thought it was time for an upgrade, and to make it more accurate. Anyway, here's a pic of all of the gloves together. From left to right, they are: My friends, my son's, my daughter's, my wife's, mine, and my first set. Below them are parts for another set. All of the glove greeblies were made by Acrylikhan. Thanks Frank. They got some real good use! 1
Jimah Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Wow that is a lot of gloves, gotta 'hand it to you!' (Ducks and runs for cover)
Fettski Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 WOW, sure have come a long way from your first set.
mrbungle Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 very cool. we need someone who can do gloves.
TB4952 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Just out of curiosity how come you guys are making the gloves with a white /Light grey set of pads on them when the pads are a dark grey colour have i missed something ???? Cheers Dan

Cheers Dan The pads on the top of the glove are grey. It was what I found that I thought was most suitable for the project. I used a flash, plus had the light coming from the window. But they are grey. I plan on weathering them to get them a little dirty.
TB4952 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Fair enuff mate had a sudden worrie you had discovered some new info !!
Grumpy Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 very cool. we need someone who can do gloves. I could possibly do that. Do the ones that I've made look good enough for the Kashyyyk Trooper?
Guest SolderMaster Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I could possibly do that. Do the ones that I've made look good enough for the Kashyyyk Trooper? BUMP! If so, I'll take two pairs! What sizes do/will you offer?
Grumpy Posted April 14, 2011 Author Posted April 14, 2011 Hey fellow Kashyyyykians! (Does that sound right? ) I'm starting to get requests for some of these gloves. That's cool and I thank you. The gloves I make are like these in this picture.......yeah I know, it's the same picture as above...I know, I know. (From left to right) The sizes shown are Large, XX-Large, Medium, Small, XX-Large (again), ignore the old style. The unfinished at the bottom are X-Large. (Currently owned by Bloodclaws65.) If interested, please send a PM. Right now, they are made on an order by order basis. As I start to get more supplies in, I will make a few and post them in the For Sale/Trade thread, here on BSN. Thanks again to those that have posted interest. If you have the gauntlet greeblies made by Acrylikhan, or the new greebs made by MrBungle. Let me know. That drops the price a little. They would just have to be sent to me, though. And then I get to poke some more holes in my fingers by sewing them together. (The gloves, not my fingers...I know, really bad jokes and I should stop. Sheesh...) Just kidding. Don't mind making them at all. Keeps me busy and drives my wife crazy! (But not that crazy, she has a pair also.) Plus, it gets more people started on making their Kashyyyk Trooper.
Grumpy Posted April 16, 2011 Author Posted April 16, 2011 Back again. Update on gloves in progress. These two pairs are for the Kashyyyk Couple out west. And here is another pair in the works. Let me know what all of you think. Any comments, concerns, complaints? Please offer any suggestions or improvements that could be done. There's not much room to work with on these gloves, but I try and do what I can. Now I have to go peel this glue off of my fingers.
Lonescout Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 I think they look great and I like the dirty/weathered look.
fett-bobafett Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Looks great Matt! I'll get some measuring done and send you a pm, and still need to box up and mail the greeblies.
Guest SolderMaster Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Looks great Matt! I'll get some measuring done and send you a pm, and still need to box up and mail the greeblies. Ya...what she said....me too!
Grumpy Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 Update: Colleen and Todd (Kashyyyk Couple West) Gloves are done. Hope you like them. (Sorry that they're a little dirty. Just kidding. They're purposely dirty.) Canadian Scout: 60% done. SolderMaster: Awaiting greeblie arrival. Auzie Scout: Have your size gloves. Will update as parts arrive.
Tunnel Rat Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 WOW Matt, You have been a busy lil' Kashyyyk Trooper! Nice gloves, and did you get my other message? See ya
fett-bobafett Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Matt, those look awesome! I saw Joe's on Saturday. I'm all fired up again. PS I'm changing to the Kashyyyk Couple Southwest. (Hoping we'll get more couples involved!) --Colleen
