Semi-Functional Custom Gauntlets - Pics


I just had to post these.

I went to the store to buy some clothes a couple months ago and came across some cheap, XL shin guards that I thought would look cool over my knee-high boots. Then I put them on my arms and was like, "Well...THIS IS BETTER!"

So, what do you think?

Re: Homemade semi-functional gauntlets for my custom batsuit.


i made the fins from an old, crappy mold with smooth cast 300ish. i didn't think i was going to do anything with them and was about to throw them out when i got the idea, and i actually think i salvaged them.
i think the shin guards were reebok, but i can't find any pictures online anywhere.
they didn't have a back so i latexed some spandex and made a sleeve and sewed it to the guard itself.
just look for shin guards that will fit your forearms and go crazy. most of the ones i looked at were in a box that could be easily opened to inspect... hehehe...
