Need help with Knuckle rider on hourglass gaunts.

Post by Mad Matt »

Ok so I'm trying to get the knuckle rider to work better then the other way I did it. So I've tried riveting it to the gauntlet. But I can't seem to keep it from being able to rotate too far. Any tips?

Was looking at Cad's site and noticed he's got the rider pattern the same as the front end of the metacarpal. Gonna try that.

This is the last thing I've got to figure out to get the hourglass fingermittens working.

Nevermind. Turns out all I needed to do was peen the rivets.

Pics shortly. Still need to do a thumb and a cuff but the rest is done and satisfactory.
