Latex FREE flexible Stormtrooper hand guards

[Sonnenschein]

it is time for me to start posting.

Here are my contributions

These are latex FREE yet flexible hand guards. They still have some flaws, but they will be corrected with the next one.

There are many advantages:

* for people who dont like/ are allergic to latex or who are in contact with allergig persons
*no need to paint - they are already a glossy white- No flaking of paint!
* more durable than latex#
*the same flex, thus screen accurate LOOK
* you can attach it to non-rubber gloves like nomex.

I also made these out of latex:

These are the famous "Han Hero" hand guards. Many other ANH troopers wore them aswell.

The masters were all made out of styrene. I love that stuff. I am also scratch building an R2 unit out of it

What do you think?

Looks good but you need to resize the pictures (too big). Doing a run on these anytime soon?

I thought you were giving away 'free' latex hand guards.

Nice work !

Quite possible. If there's enough interest.

Thanks for all the kind words!

I'm liking these... there are a couple of us in the local Mandalorian Mercs that are looking to have TK hand plates for our Mando costumes.

How much would these sets be going for, out of curiosity? I might be able to drum up more business for you - that is if/when you decide to do a run.

I thought I'd share some new pics:

Here's style B(hero) non-latex glued to rubber gloves
(many thanks to my fiance for modelling)

In this pic you can see the flexability. It follows every curve of your hand

Did I mention that they're quite glossy? And no paint cracking 'cause no paint is involved?
