Re: Wally's Cad Bane Build
making a good looking mask is a job in its self, is he using dragon skin or something similar or will the face be fixed? it should be a real interesting costume when done, best of luck.

I think it probably is...need to ask
here is some of the brain work into figuring the pistols. If your children ever wondered why math/algebra is important here is what a simple solve for "X" can do for you...
Using Cad Bane's actual height and a scaled pic of him and his pistol, I was able to print a 1:1 scale picture of the grip and main body. These pistols are actually very slender and long...it's a 12" barrell.

Re: Wally's Cad Bane Build
So I've taken the initial card board gauntlet, covered it with fiberglass resin, filled it with "Great Stuff" gap filler, cut down the overflow and applied the first coat of bondo. I will apply a couple more layers and then move on to automotive bondo as I work it smoother.

Re: Wally's Cad Bane Build
I'm now at a point where I'm making adjustments. It is definitely a challenge translating "Alien" proportions to something wearable by the average trooper. The photo below show you how I have shortened the gaunlet in a proportionate manner. I will be adding a styerene box to the bottom to give it the appropriate squared off look. I will also add a new top to increase the angle. Right now I'm thinking the gaunlet would be in 3 parts: Bottom, middle top, and panel top. More to come.

Re: Wally's Cad Bane Build
Was away for Easter...now it's back to work. I've continued to work on the overall shape and detail of the gantlet. Here is the latest:
