I haven't seen one of these around so I decided to make one myself when I made my gauntlet.

Templates can be modified and the same techniques applied to create multiple styles of gauntlets.
Please not the last image is not the finished piece. The glue is still drying, giving it that patchy appearance. The finished gauntlet will be as shown in the preview image.

Any questions? Just ask!

It's looking a little splotchy. If I were you, I would have colored it solidly and added weathering between the details to make them stand out.

Good job though, the structure and designs are just right.

Unfortunately I had to use acrylic paints and some rather worn out brushes so it was pretty tricky to get it on evenly, I use spray paints now :3

As for weathering, it's definately something I'll do next time, but being the first thing I made I wasn't confident enough to give it a try.

I'm planning to re-make this soon so I'll take what you said into consideration :)

Do you mean shaping it or actually attaching it to your arm?

If you mean shaping, I heated it up and held it in place around my arm until it cooled and kept the shape.

If you mean how do you attach it to your arm, I used velcro straps and stapled them to the middle layer and had them running out of the layers and around the arm.
