iconoclasta_88 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Ive been researching about pauldrons to try to make my own screen accurate version. I know every single inch from every ANH image with a TD have been studied deeply... but today I noticed something that I have never heard of or anything. An its that the Pauldron belonging to the Move Along TD has a very small circular shaped symbol on the orange part, near the neck. Check this out: Does anyone know what this is? Sorry if this has been posted before, just couldnt find it. Saludos... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandalorianWarrior87 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Might just be the logo from the chest protector? Only a guess though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slave1pilot Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I saw it a while ago I too believe it's the logo of the Chest protector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-9135 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Would that point to a painted prop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I have look at it too, for some time... Here you see it in action, on another trooper. And again on the another trooper, in the dok94. I does not look to be on this captains. One strange thing, is that on this picture it seems like both of the captain pauldrons have the shard of a small ring up the neck. I´m all most 100%, that you can´t buy these any where. And that, they was made by the LFL art department. Used the Thorsten Hallman chest projector, as a ref. And that the small ring shade, was a mistake in the plastic leather. Maybe a coffee cup, leave mark. But if its on two of them, it a bit strange. But i don´t think, its a logo.

dutchy Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Maybe the intention was to put a round sticker on it. And perhaps later on it was removed and collected some dirt/ filth...or it is just a paintdrip..But a logo, I don't think that either.

Dutch Dirty Trooper Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Or so they can regonize who is who ?! He that's ....cause he has the spot on his pauldron ! Move along...move along ! Grtz RAY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandalorianWarrior87 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Would that point to a painted prop? Could well be. Rolf is the pauldron master though, so i'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thanks for all the replys... its very interesting. And since I did not noticed it till yesterday, im a bit curious... Even more now seeing that it appears in two captain pauldrons... So, do you think it could be alright to make some kind of mark resembling a wore off the imperial logo in the captain pauldron. I mean, it could be similar to this thing in the movie, but not quiet cause we know almost for sure that it is not an imperial logo... Would it be still screen accurate it I did this logo thing, or should I just stay with no logo on my pauldron? Any thoughts? Rolf? (cause indeed you are the pauldron master!) Thanks a lot! Saludos...

Thanks for your kindness I will say, go for it whit out the logo. But if you can make the mark there, screen accurate it will sure be a cool move. I have been thinking of doing it my self, for some time. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandalorianWarrior87 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I think it'd look pretty cool with the logo, if it looks the same as the movie obv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 I guess I will try to find out the exact shape of the logo/stain using photoshop and playing with color and saturation... if I find any interesting result ill post it here... THX for all your comments. Saludos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nice-biscuit Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Looks like a sticker that was removed and the left over adhesive has taken to the weathering more. I would have said it is weathering but the fact that it appears on two is too coincidental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been thinking about just sticking some tape in the shape of a circle, leave it there for a couple of days and then remove it using alcohol or something just to make sure that some adhesive is left over... I dont have an orange pauldron now, but Ill try this when I finish making mine... BTW, the captain walking down the alley has the attitude I always think of when trooping... He is a BMF!

Florida_Phil Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Don't know how I missed this thread (oh right, I've been swamped), but I have something to add. I once read somewhere, and I'm sorry that I can't cite a reference to this, that the actor inside the move along trooper (in Tunisia) had set a tea cup on the pauldron, and it had left a ring/sticky area, and stuff had just stuck to it. I've had a circular ring on my pauldron for a few years now, but now I'd like to go back and figure out where in the heck I'd read about this.
