Jango Gauntlet Blades - Screencaps inside

The extent of my time that I put into this ended with my last post in this thread. Without having a set of gauntlets to work with, and not being ready to make mine yet, I figured I had gone as far as I wanted to.

I have tossed the concept around in my head on occasion while driving on Southern California's freeways :D , but have yet to go any farther than the wooden mock-up from the very first day. I haven't canned the project, just postponed it until I am at that stage of my outfett. I will most definitely keep the board apprised of any developments.

I wonder if TPP didn't jack our designs. Not that they're very technologically advanced as far as designs go, but just that no interest seemed present in this feature until Brak's posted here and we tossed some ideas around. Given the time elapsed, allowing for R&D, the timeframe suggests a bit of "borrowing" of our initial ideas ;) . We'll see....
 
Ya well see I guess if they actually do exist. A little thanks our way would sure be nice :) . I'm in the same boat. I have very limited time and and trying to work on my own armor first when I have the time. Also, my Gauntlets are smaller than those really accurate ones, so they wouldn't make for the best model. A lot of my friends have told me to pursue finishing this, but it's just a matter of time. At least hopefully all of our R&D will keep people inspired, that's really what it's all about.
 
Speaking of Jango gaunt gadgets, has anyone thought of using a CO2 canister to propel the grappeling hook? It might work.
 
Hey, why do the blades have to be exclusive to Jango, who's to say Boba doesnt have them. Just because he never used them in the movies doesnt mean anything. I think boba's got almost everything Jango does.

Those blades are looking awesome by the way.
 
I am working on some jango style blades for my gauntlets. What do you guys think?

Well, no springs but I came up with a way to attach them without making it permanent. I put two little magnets I believe they are natural earth magnets. Vary powerful. I put two in the side piece that holds the dart. Then i put two on the blades witch i have glued a baking on.:D

That's pretty neat! You may be one of the first or the first to sport the blades. We went over this on a similar topic a while back on how to make them retract but that went ZOOM over my head. Still, whether they retract or not, it's kickin! The option to add or remove them when needed is a good idea as the movie version was CGI stuff. Thanks for sharing and show us when it's all done!:thumbsup:

ouch I moved hosts and forgot about all these pictures...damn that was a lot of dev time too. Maybe I can find them again for someone because the measurements were exact for retraction.
