I hand sculpted this in several flat pieces. then made molds of each piece and cast them. I put the pieces made from smooth cast 300 in hot water to shape them. I drilled holes in the knuckle frames and ran rope LED light through each hole. I used craft gems for the actual gems. Painted gold with some dry brush black in spots.The base is just a styrofoam circle with putty over it and craft gems added. Its has a pvc pipe ran up from the center that the Gauntlet sets on. It is not wearable, just a prop. This was a fan favorite at the comic convention I showed it at and it sold quickly. So now....gots to make another
