it was a rainy day so I finished a few pairs, which looks better to you? {brass or hidden rivets]

I think they would look better on my hands. :wink:

Brass looks good to me.

Both are awesome :shock: but as to which I would pick it would depend on what the rest of the armour looks like.

:?: How much per pair if you where to get a comission? :?:

I like the blind rivets better.

I initialy thought that the brass may look more... cohesive if the rivets on the fingers were also brass. But that would probably be too much.

Also... my opinion may be skewed by the fact that I don't much care for yellow metals.

They are both very nice looking gaunts though.

I think they're terrible. Just plain awful. So awful, you must get rid of them. Fast. How fast can you get them to northern Georgia, USA?

:wink:

(j/k, of course. those gaunts rock my face hard core, both of them)

Definitely brass. I like as much colour on metal things as possible.

I think that if there were more brass trim then the brass rivets would look fine. Without the added trim I like the clean look of the hidden rivets.

I'm with Guy on this. If you had a big fancy brass cuff, or brass gadlings the brass rivets would be a perfect match. Without all the frou-frou stuff, the clean look is really nice.
Either way, the gauntlets do look really good.
