While I know it isn't exactly like the film, they do look dirtier than normal because I always tried to get an even color and have a clean look to them. So, thus far it's not a major change but I don't have time to try to get it so exact since these orders have been waiting for about 8 weeks. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"

You're definitely going down the right road, though...Maybe once you get caught up on orders, you can be free to test out your methods. By the way, I should mention that I have always loved your blades' design...They're much thinner and streamlined than most other replicas I've seen, which is a great thing. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> The only other bit of advice I can give you on the leather glove itself is that it appears (to me) that the original hero glove was almost one solid color of dingy, dirt brown...Perhaps you could throw it in a diluted dye bath of some kind to enhance and even out the dark brown nastiness of the glove, instead of darkening the immediate area around the finger/palm openings. (See the two pictures I've attached below.)You're really doing great, man. Keep up that fuckin' good work![attachment=28994:ANOES008.jpg][attachment=28995:ANOES009.jpg]Cheers,Ryan
