I'm looking for a pattern for a sandtrooper pauldron. It appears that Anthony Forrest ("These aren't the droids we're looking for" trooper) is coming to a toy show near me this Sunday, and I think it'd be fun to get one signed. Any tips, patterns, or laid-flat reference pics would be great. Thanks for the help!
Anyone have a sandtrooper pauldron pattern?

i posted these patterns over at the MEPD too, so here is what i have.
these patterns were copied from a .pdf file tutorial i found several years back somewhere on the WWW.
this tutorial isn´t mine, so please don´t thank me but the actual unknown author!

Thanks RoCKo!
Seven hours later... I have proven it can be done on a whim.:lol
clean underside
No sandy pauldron is quite complete without some grime and dirt.
The pauldron body is vinyl with a styrene insert to keep the orange section stiff. I padded the black sections to make it a little more accurate, and because I wanted it a little puffier than some I've seen. The ends and tabs are leather, also sewn in firmly. The under-arm strap is going to get a quick-release buckle soon for ease of operation.
Now I just have to figure out how discreet I want the signature to be. Or just make a new one for wearing with armor. Thanks again to all who've contributed in this thread and helped out. I'll try for the autograph tomorrow!

That looks GREAT! Don't be surprised when the orders start coming in...
Mission success!
I went to the show on Sunday and got things wrapped up in under an hour. Anthony Forrest did a little discussion panel, then folks lined up. He was surprised and pleased that I had brought a pauldron, and told me it's actually the first time anyone has had him sign one. That makes it even cooler for me.:lol
Now that I can make my own I'll never lack for a pauldron selection. I'm already plotting some custom ones. Thanks for all the help, guys.
