Okay... I've made a small adjustment on the Backplate. I shortened it a bit and pulled in the sides a TINY bit but mostly I pulled in the bottom right and left corners. I was worried that doing such would accentuate the curve on the sides too much but it actually didn't. I also pulled the fingers in closer together a TINY bit as well. Doing so, I thinned the finger columns by about 1/16th of an inch so it made and overall shift of 1/4th of an inch.The change I had already made was in the fingertip area. Notice on my templates that the upward curve after the downward curve is a bit too long. I have shortened that by a good 1/4th inch as well. I think I'm done with my templates for my new Part 1 glove now. I hope to have them made within the next month.I also think that by using one of my gloves as a reference as to how long the backplate should be, it made it a bit too long. I tried to get the pullstring buckle in the same spot but I'll bet that the buckle on my gloves is further down on the glove because it is a large glove. The glove used in the film is a medium so the backplate is probably shorter than what I previously had. But I think we're good to go now.
