After much cussing and head scratching I finally figured out how to do the gauntlets. I was having a hard time scaling WOF's prints to fit his frame so I winged it for the the actual gauntlet, not the attachments. At first I took measurements of his arm and made a rough mold from wood to form some PVC over for the top and bottom half. This worked out pretty well until it came time to fit some elastic in the cuffs to keep the halves together. (I saw this in another thread there and thought I'd try it out. Didn't work so well.
So off for another solution. I made a full wooden mold of the gauntlet after taking measurements of his arm and adding room for some padding. Glued up some 2x4 stock and after it dried a half hour with an angle grinder and the stationary belt sander and I've got a good form to wrap around.
I screwed a block to the bottom to clamp it in the vice and I'm good to go.
