Gauntlets for Rann Novon (WiP)
« on: Apr 09, 2017, 02:14 AM »
So using Kuu's tutorial I built my base gauntlets today.

Started with this:


Then started doing this:









Then they ended up like this:





Then I added the latch:


I'm probably going to pull the latches off and find better one or find a different solution to keep them closed.

Your thoughts and suggestions are welcomed and encouraged.

Great tutorial, quick question... when you cut the piano hinge, what keeps the pin from popping out? do you bend it or is there another solution?

I didn't have any issue with my pin popping out - but at least one of my clanmates uses the pin as a closure, by bending the end over a bit.  I've covered mine with a bit of gaffer tape, or you could add some hot glue at each end to keep it in place.

Friction holds the pin in the hinge. But also sense I cut the hinge with a cut off wheel in my dremal it may have kind of welded it in place on the ends.

The gauntlet Kuu-torial is what I used for mine.  The hinge pin hasn't so much as budged since I assembled them last summer.  I also used a small piece of piano hinge for the closures, and that pin I did bend over at one end, and have the entire pin a slight curve to keep it from falling out due to gravity when my arm is in a certain position. 

The rare earth magnet closure set up will be utilized on kit #2, though.
