I wish I was that talented. lol I'm thinking about ripping the knuckles off of a pair of these
and attaching them to my tarmacs (a little pricey though).
Yes the tarmac v.2 glove is discontinued so if you can find a pair grab it right away. Good luck finding black in any size now. I settled for grey and will be "dying" them.

Re: ** TDK Base gloves identified! **
No offense to batnemo and his great work but making knuckle guards might be the easiest sculpt on this suit. You don't need a lot of talent for that part of it.

Re: ** TDK Base gloves identified! **
It took me 7 or 8 tries to get the dang things right. Its because it goes higher at the top, but then the end is also fat, so getting the angle right is difficult :cussing

Now I feel even more lacking in talent. lol Well I'm thinking about picking up some clay and giving it a go. It's the casting part where I get lost (still have no idea how to really do it and that is after doing some research).

Re: ** TDK Base gloves identified! **
The molding is definitely a little more complex. But you can buy a kit. Smooth-on has a nice one that includes an instructional DVD.

Re: ** TDK Base gloves identified! **
Hmm...I suppose doing is cheaper than buying motorcycle armour/gloves and ripping them a part...something to think about anyway.
