My blasters had the same problem! I eventually got them smoothed with spot putty and a lot of filler primer.

yep, that's exactly what we are doing with them! haha. glad to see i'm not the only one with that problem. filler primer is a god send

Do the gloves have vintage seem lines down either side of the palm and wrist? Like, are the stop and bottom two pieces, or just one big piece that was wrapped around?

The seam is only on the outside, there's not one on the inside. It's also very tiny. I'll flip them inside out tonight and snap a picture. I'm not very good with sewing, so please excuse my ignorance at knowing seams and stuff >.<

It's ok! Sewing takes a lot of practice!  (I have too much  )

Just get some good photos for me and I'll see if I can help you figure out what to do/walk you through it.

flipped the top part inside out for close-ups;




and here's one of the glove on. turned my arm to the side awkwardly for a picture :p

Ok (sorry to make you wait! Crazy week up here  )|

It looks like the seem is just single stitched, so you should be able to carefully pull the stitches out with a seem ripper (joanns or major fabric stores carry them if you don't have one). I would carefully pull the seems out down to where your wrist starts. Then take the fabric you got and cut an elongated triangle (long enough to fit in the split in the glove you just made) and sew it in carefully. You may need to do it by hand. The point will go at your wrist and the wider end will go up by your forearm where the glove should be wider.

I posted a tutorial about the gloves on the RL forum if you're on there that might help.

update;

Didn't get this done by Celebration (obviously), and then I let it sit on the back-burner for awhile for no good reason. It's finally shipped off to be painted (will be painted by Eitanya) so now I wait

painting for the entire kit was done by Eitanya and i can not thank her enough for all the hard work she put into it. it's beautiful.

fingers crossed now.
