Patrick Priebe is at it again. The prop maker’s latest toy is a step up from his usual laser–emitting or flame-spewing gizmos. It’s an Iron Man-themed gauntlet with a built-in model rocket launcher. It also has a palm-mounted laser, because Patrick doesn’t mess around when it comes to messing around.
As usual, Patrick didn’t provide a detailed breakdown of how he made the gauntlet for fear that you’d hurt yourself trying to copy his work. And unless you like using your arm as a launch platform, I suggest you follow the old bit about not trying this at home. Skip to 5:17 to see gauntlet in action. Then keep watching to see why you really shouldn’t do this.
