So this was a pretty fun part of the project. The armbands or gauntlets. I really took some liberties on this since I did not know how to get the hard edges on it. So I came up with an idea to mask some cool tech lines into it as I did with the chest plates. So I first started with a pattern I created, spray glued it onto black craft foam and cut them out. Then, like the Joe logo earlier, I placed blue painter’s tape onto my mat and put the pattern over it, securing it with tape as well. Then I used a blade and cut out the shapes I want to keep black after spraying with silver paint. I then used a copy of the pattern as a guide to see where I need to stick the tape. Then I sprayed and pulled the tape off. The result was pretty cool. I then hot glued some elastic bands connecting both sides. Make sure that you really measure the bands before you glue them down, to fit your arm. Have someone help you mark it while its on your arm. Don’t forget to wear the shirt you will be wearing under the armor since it will affect the length of material you will need. GLUE GUN IT AFTER YOU TAKE IT OFF YOUR ARM PLEASE!!!
