Good news is the fine folks over at Universal Designs appear to be releasing a replica of the gloves at some point. I am sure they will be incredibly accurate and very well made.  :up I wish to confirm the above by Kevin. The glove is indeed custom and not made by either of those fine manufacturers. We'll be releasing licensed replicas of the gloves and boots once our TDK Jacket and Pants are ready. Regarding the gloves, Dave was in Burbank last week examining the screen used gloves and boots in person, along with other screen used items that will make up our Replica line. Had these gloves been modified off the shelf gloves then we probably wouldn't have felt the need to do a licensed replica version but the truth is they're 100% custom. Keep checking the website for new and exciting updates as we've got a few surprises up ahead. :) Rimma :kitty nondisclosed_email@example.com (RIMMAYR1)Tue, 10 Mar 2009 08:38:38 +0000 Re: ** TDK Base gloves identified! **https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2151451,from=rss#post2151451https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2151451,from=rss#post2151451Thanks for posting that Kevin. I own both a pair of tarmac and scorpion and I now believe that the Tarmac is NOT accurate - the ribbing portions of the fingers and thumb has a more rounded border, which is definitely not on the tdk glove. I've owned the scorpions for awhile now. They are a much nicer glove overall and look more like the tdk glove (with the exception for the cover missing from the thumb tip, but a piece of suede can fix that).

I used Van Aken modeling clay - it's the only kind of clay available at my local Michael's that I knew for sure was oil based. The only other kind they had was Primo I believe, which I wasn't sure about. Could it still be baked? And if so, what is the right temp and time to bake at?

I figured I'd post the pics here seeing as it was Kevin that "told" me to give it a shot lol. I started with this shape: I don't really like the shape of the tdk knuckles so I went with a more tear drop shape. After getting that I sculpted a "base" for it to go on top of. Overall, I think it's a bit more of an aggressive knuckle. I like the shape of it but I'm still trying to get the "wrinkles" flattened out (without completely wrecking the sculpt). For a first attempt, not bad I guess.

Just took a few minutes. Once the new knuckle guards are glued on there shouldn't be too much of the hole in the mesh leftover from where the old knuckle guard was. I'm gonna tear off the little rubber velcro strap at the wrist and replace it. It's the last bit with a logo on it.nondisclosed_email@example.com (inkmonkey)Tue, 16 Sep 2008 14:35:17 +0000 Re: ** TDK Base gloves identified! **https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116814,from=rss#post2116814https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116814,from=rss#post2116814Quote:I'm doing the same as sin03. I got grey Tarmacs, took out the knuckle guards, cut out part of the mesh, dyed them and then sculpted and attached my new knuckle guards. I think they're gonna turn out pretty good. I think I started something... lol. Hey bro, I'm think of taking a pair of scissors to the top layer because I think messing with the stitching along the side of the glove would be a disaster.

It looks like it would take about 5 minutes to do.nondisclosed_email@example.com (jawafive)Tue, 16 Sep 2008 13:07:34 +0000 Re: ** TDK Base gloves identified! **https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116791,from=rss#post2116791https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116791,from=rss#post2116791What you could do is sculpt your new knuckle guards to go on top of the existing logo. Cast them so that the bottom of the new guards are a negative of the existing guard. That way, they would fit right on top; with a little supa-glu and you are in biz!nondisclosed_email@example.com (Jedi Magnum)Tue, 16 Sep 2008 12:27:36 +0000 Re: ** TDK Base gloves identified! **https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116785,from=rss#post2116785https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116785,from=rss#post2116785Absolutely. nondisclosed_email@example.com (inkmonkey)Tue, 16 Sep 2008 12:23:06 +0000 Re: ** TDK Base gloves identified! **https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116716,from=rss#post2116716https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116716,from=rss#post2116716Kevin, Can you post some pics of your new gloves?

The palm has no white stitching. But they do have these little rubber "dots" that are transparent that will be tough or impossible to remove. Also not sure about how to remove the knuckle logo yet.nondisclosed_email@example.com (inkmonkey)Mon, 15 Sep 2008 20:19:53 +0000 Re: ** TDK Base gloves identified! **https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116613,from=rss#post2116613https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116613,from=rss#post2116613Okay guys I went for it and removed the stock knuckle guard from my tarmacs. Take a look at these: As you can see, the tarmac's have two layers of mesh. I'm going to remove the top layer and sew down the leather strip. Just thought I should post this as no one else in this thread has pointed out the two layers before. After that, its dying time! lol Jason.nondisclosed_email@example.com (sin03)Mon, 15 Sep 2008 19:13:32 +0000 Re: ** TDK Base gloves identified! **https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116361,from=rss#post2116361https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116361,from=rss#post2116361Bumpnondisclosed_email@example.com (sin03)Sun, 14 Sep 2008 13:39:34 +0000 Re: ** TDK Base gloves identified! **https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116243,from=rss#post2116243https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116243,from=rss#post2116243Yep definitely something to consider then. I'll probably buy some oil-based clay and see what I come up with before I get a smooth-on kit. One question for those who have the Tarmac v.2's and who taken off the rubber plate/knuckle protector - is there a whole in the mesh? One of the picture's earlier on in the threat shows for sure an indentation (from where the rubber had been stitched in) or, in the worst case, a portion of mesh missing? Just thought I'd ask before I start taking mine a part. nondisclosed_email@example.com (sin03)Sat, 13 Sep 2008 18:49:15 +0000 Re: ** TDK Base gloves identified! **https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116240,from=rss#post2116240https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116240,from=rss#post2116240Might be about the same cost but it would be funner to do it yourself. :lol nondisclosed_email@example.com (inkmonkey)Sat, 13 Sep 2008 18:33:08 +0000 Re: ** TDK Base gloves identified! **https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116239,from=rss#post2116239https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2116239,from=rss#post2116239Hmm...I suppose doing is cheaper than buying motorcycle armour/gloves and ripping them a part...something to think about anyway.
