After Breaking My Wrist, I Turned My Plain Cast Into Thanos‘ Infinity Gauntlet
I broke my wrist recently and decided that rather than walk around with a plain white arm cast, I’d pimp it.
With the ‘Avengers: Endgame’ coming out, it seemed like the only logical DIY project to do!
The first step was turning my broken arm cast to gold. I just used gold metallic acrylic paint.
I got some craft gems and just sized them up! I was having serious doubts about whether the Thanos’ gauntlet was still a good idea at this stage!
Planning out the design. I had to use my left (I’m right-handed) hand, so this was particularly tricky!
This was just testing the gold 3D fabric paint to see if I could create the ridges on the Infinity gauntlet.
After all the 3D paint was on.
I used a standard black marker to begin the detailing, didn’t want to complicate my easy DIY.
I used a metallic acrylic bronze and some black to start smoothing/adding shadows.
The first test of painting the gems. Again just acrylic paint – it took a few coats and a hairdryer!
I ended up adding some PVA glue to the paint for the gems. This was to help it stick and add a shiny gloss to them.
I used a silver pen to add subtle highlights just to help with the allusion of depth in the detailing.
Tadaaah! A grown man walking around as an Avengers character with gems on his arm!

I was completely screwed just attempting to sign my name with my left hand. It looked like a doctor's signature. You are amazing to be able to do that!
I think this is the most amazing thing i've ever seen!! You are truly talented and I bet anything you are left handed! Unless you are ambidextrous there is no way you could have done that otherwise! Great job!
I've been trying to find this Chris forever and I can't (u) I fell for him as soon as I saw his work lol
Chris!! What a wonderful job! I'm impressed by your creativity! Love it!
You're going to be the first person to ever be sad to lose their cast, lol.
