Has the owner of the recently discovered hero glove given out measurments on it?

I've asked him and he won't say anything about it. However, I was a bit sneaky and did some measuring of my own. The photo of the original glove shows it sitting on top of a leather glove that has a ball and tape wrist. The buckles on those gloves are pretty much unversal in size. So, I resized the image to match the diameter of the buckle on that kind of glove and there you have it. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /> It may not be 100% accurate but I'm VERY confident that I have it very close. The owner of the glove did say he was "shocked" when he opened up the box and saw how small it actually was. It's more of a claw-like device than a larger armature device like most replicas have. I think the glove looked larger than it really was since you mostly only saw it up close. But check this photo out... the blades don't even extend the width of his face so they are obviously very short:<img src=\"http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn47/knifegloves/nightmare1behind-044.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />And thank you, The Kreator. Very kind of you to say that. Glad you're still happy with it. Too bad the string broke off when I made it but I'm glad to hear that it still works like you want it to. Thanks again.

that's a nice coloring job on that glove Mark. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> i know you have been struggling a lot with the colors/aging proces in the past. is this the "<u>consistent</u>" coloring/aging method/solution you were searching for???

The patinas I use apparently keep working even though I've wiped them off. I know how to stop that from happening but I don't want to do it. Applying a laquer to the metal will preserve the coloring but it unfortunately makes the glove look too clean because it shines up the surface when it's applied. I want the surface to remain dull looking. So, unfortunately, I can get a good color at first, but am having trouble keeping it that way.

It would mostly affect the thickness of them. Even Robert Englund was asked once about what he thought of replicas that he's seen and he says the gloves he's seen have longer blades. I hope to build a prototype soon so I can show you all what it may look like. Plus, if you've noticed, on a TON of replicas of the Part 1 glove, the backplate sits way too far down on the back of the hand and renders the ball and tape wrist useless. The Numero Uno is a perfect example of this. It's because all the armature is simply too big. Also, the original leather glove is a medium sized glove. If I use a medium glove with my armature, the backplate will interfere with the function of the pull string usually. That means the parts are sitting too far down on the back of the hand. Plus, I also think that the original leather glove was pretty unique because it seems to have a very short wrist that doesn't extend much past his wrist. Hard to explain what I mean but most gloves, even mediums now, cover up more of the wrist than the actual glove did. Oh well... you'll all see what I mean when I built my prototype.
