Gauntlet

For this project, I am creating a gauntlet out of card stock.  I am hoping to create the gauntlet out of metal at some point as was intended by pattern / tutorial I used (http://www.davidjguyton.com/).  Right now I'm working on the version 1 gauntlet but would love to try version 2 at some point as well (I got both patterns).  I wouldn't mind making his futuristic gauntlet at some point as well, however, I haven't gotten that pattern yet.

I've started assembling the glove but I think I'm going to take it apart and use a different pair of gloves to attach the pieces too.  The one I have was just temporary to see how the project would go but the glove is too stretchy and makes it hard to continue attaching the paper armor pieces.  Once I get a new (cheap) pair of gloves I'll continue and post more pics.  :)

Pieces cut out

Arranged everything on the table in order of how it connects for easier assembly

Closer view of the hand / wrist portion laid out

Got part of the hand and wrist assembled (using thumb tacks to hold the pieces in place - they act as rivets so that the gauntlet can still bend freely)

A couple fingers added (I think I need to use a different glove... this one's too stretch)

Trying it on... looking pretty cool
