First attempt at Gauntlets

Post by Capjacksparrow »

This is my first attempt at making gauntlets. I am not quite satisfied how they turned out. I can't grip a sword very well and when looking at it from diffrent angles they don't look quite right any sugestions on improving Gauntlets.

Give use more pictures from different angles, from this i can see only that in the area between the index and the thumb there is too much metal.

Knuckle riders are your friend when it comes to getting better movement out of a finger gauntlet

Finger lamer are too big and few, go for a smaller size and more pieces
then, if they are not for SCA, you don't want the finger plate to full wrap the finger, but just over the top part.
