Real Bronze Gauntlets - Pics
Hey Bros,
After close to two years I finally received my handcrafted Begins Gauntlets made from bronze.
These babies are the first parts of a functional batsuit. It'll take years until it will be finished, but hey I'm still young :wink
They are a little big but I ordered them that way so that you could wear some form of armor underneath.
Let me hear your thoughts!

Re: Real Bronze Gauntlets!
Okay bros:
These babies were made by Dr. Anton Feldon. He lives in Munich and makes weapons and ancient armor. This guy is an absolute genius!
During the summer he's working on movies and the rest of the year he's working for museums or customers like me.
The whole story began when I fell in love with the begins gauntlets in early '05 and saw a documentary about a guy in Munich who taught himself how to make armor and weapons; I had to contact him!
And so I did and showed him pics of the gauntlets. He agreed and I sent him all the details I could find.
The rest was waiting and saving money :p
And Kevin, you'd be surprised they are relatively light weight!
Sure they add quite a bit to a punch but they don't slow you down at all. Maybe if you had to fight for an entire night your arms would get heavy but I had no problems so far

Re: Real Bronze Gauntlets!
it even has the right opening mechanism, near the wrists! I'm not saying it would be easy, but couldn't someone here do this? I beg of you!!!
