I'm looking forward to seeing you kit finished ... 

Me too! I just recently realized that I've been on here since 2012!!  Time to actually make some progress. 

Speaking of progress:
Got my part of my hinges glued on:


That was a 12" piano hinge, cut in half. My gauntlets are only 6.5" on the short side, so the 12" was perfect.

We as an organization have probably made the piano hinge manufacturing owners rich .

Slow progress is better than no progress, at least you're still at it! Those look like an excellent base for gauntlets, and the fit will be much better clamshell style than otherwise. Not to say one can't make well fitted one-piece gauntlets, but in my own experience clamshell is just easier in most ways.

More progress:






Just WIP pictures, but they're starting to come together. I've still got some sanding/bondo work, but any progress it good.

....but any progress it good. 

Absolutely!

Almost finished.

Black washing complete:

And some detail added to right gauntlet:


"Blood, toil, tears, and sweat"

[Slade Kel]

Nicely done, the weathering is solid and most of the details will show up well in pictures and from a distance, which is how our kits end being seen for the most part.

You have great skills! If I have to write a "but", in the pics the controo gauntlet seems a bit bulky for just a few buttons. And the weapon gauntlet is a bit overkill.
