What do you think if I made the fingertips on my Part 1 glove like this?<img src=\"http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn47/knifegloves/Coloring.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />Tried to give it a similar appearance to this (except I didn't mess much with the soldering yet):<img src=\"http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn47/knifegloves/Fingertips.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndFirst of all, you gotta pick which glove you're trying to replicate. That one shown in the screen cap is NOT the "hero glove"...It is the stunt. The ends of the fingers don't even connect to the "rivets" seen on the lower half of the finger construction. It's completely separated, just like the "This is God." scene. The hero glove was far cleaner in appearance, as is evidenced by this picture (amongst many other promotional shots):[attachment=28976:1.jpg]I would just concentrate on giving the copper an <b>even</b> coat of age (kind of like how a penny gets old, dull, and "brown") and then make a few small, darker brown spots here and there on the tips of the fingers.By the way, I'm ALL FOR making it look more natural...Especially the aging of the leather and evenness of the copper's color... <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> Cheers,Ryan
