life size mitt started

Dear all

So I have been working on the mitt part of Buzz's left glove. Extra excitement in the fact it is made of coloured parts! These are the first coloured parts I have used in the life size model so far.

So first up is the easy part of forming an undulating ring

I then figured out where I wanted to put tabs for the "palm" part

It was then just a matter of joining the bits together which was made relatively easy since I now knew what shape to "pre form" each part into to make the right contour surface

As you can see I added a former which has the same diameter hole as the hole in the cuff former it joins onto
