New ANH latex Stormtrooper handguards

[Sonnenschein]

This my latest incarnation.

This even features one never before replicated detail: Knuckle indentions on the backside!

Note that this is the "curved edge" version we are used to. There a slightly differnt sculpt with an "straight edge" (mostly seen on the right hand), which account for 4 different kinds of hand guards seen in ANH

1) standard 1 (curved edge)
2) standard 2 (straight edge)
3) alternative (a.k.a hero)
4) cheese grater (seen on sandtrooper)

Feel free to comment!

Standard 1

With screen accurate weathering:

karin has really perfected these. I really need to pick up a finished glove/pair. Right now I'm sporting a pair of R2Dans which are nice too.

 

[Sonnenschein]

Thanks Steve!

It was a 2-year-journey. But I had lots of help,info, and encouragement from several people, including Dan.

 

[Sonnenschein]

Do I smell or something??!!?

Or is it the lack of "Matt Munson" in the title?

 

[Amish Trooper]

Did someone mention Munson....lol

I see a lot of work has gone into these and they do look great, nice job Karin

 

[Sonnenschein]

Thanks, FBJ!

Looks like there isn't much love for them here

 

[tictoc]

Don't say that.

Maybe some saw your work already on the FISD.

They look great.

Excellent work, not sure I would go for weathered unless it was on a sandtrooper but they look great.
Is it difficult to cast latex like that?
I have only slush moulded it before.

ONLY weathered is screenaccurate! You did a great job on those, Karin! :thumbsup

 

[Psammead]

I sort of followed this on and off on FISD but they're brilliant; the knuckle indentations just bring so much more to it.

 

[Sixxgunn13]

Saw these on the FISD forums..
can't wait till when you start a run.

 

[Sonnenschein]

So there is some love after all

Thanks everybody!

Abbadon1974,
It almost a slush casting, but with more latex. You will some kind of "return edge" out of thin latex.

And the weahtering is screen accurate, as Rocko said.

Look at this pic:

The right has a "straight edge" without knuckels, whereas the left has a more curvy edge (which we are all familiar with).

You can also see that the paint was rubbed off on certain areas.

Mounted on accurate rubber gloves

Those are great I'm quite envious. I never really liked how my AM ones fit (or rather don't).
