The ORIGINAL Pauldron

[Ph1l2007]

Hey guys,

Well, I'm sure many of you have seen this website:

http://www.vintageiron.com/chestprotector.cfm

They sell the original chest protectors used for the TK pauldrons in ANH. I was just wondering, has anyone bought one of these? i suppose you could use some painters tape, and spray paint these to make them the color you want. What do you all think?

I might dye it once it comes in. might also overlay some meterial to change the color...

I think Rolf tk252 has one or two, im sure he will be along shortly to give the lowdown..

Maybe a run of 100 is needed to get the colour we all want?

And i like the notes

Special Note: After yours arrive, please don’t call and ask if we shrunk the chest protectors. They are the original size, your gut however is not.

Special Note #2: If you are a Star Wars nut and want to buy a chest protector for your Storm Trooper outfit we won’t make them in a special color unless you order 100!

Yeah i have a second pauldron run going, from the Thorsten Hallman 70´chest projector.

They will be done in a few days from now, and shiped out.

All pauldrons are sold out.

I use the Hallman, i only modify the sewing lines left and right to be as in ANH.

On the Hallman, you got 6 sewing lines on the left.

5 on the right, but too wide in the mid.

ANH is 5 L/R.

You can dye it.

But the sewing lines is not ANH correct, and foam/pad is in not in the hallman either.

I have add the foam in mine, just as in ANH.

Maybe buy one, and do a small run by your local tailor.

Cheers trooper
