K-Fett Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Greetings from the MSG, i'm looking for pictures of sandtrooper hand armor plates, I heard there is 3 different versions, can someone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 There are really only two versions, the regular trapezoid plates and the "cheese grater" plates. The mistake in thinking there were three could come from someone talking about the two versions of trap plates used for "hero" and "stunt" on the TKs in ANH, or from the fact there were cheese grater plates, trapezoid plates, and "snowtrooper" plates — across all 3 movies. But, in reality the TDs only had trapezoids and cheese graters. And the trapezoids were rubber — if you're going screen accurate. No one is sure what the cheese graters were made of I don't think. Did you look at the CRL? There are some pictures there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iconoclasta_88 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 thank you, I can see why they call'em cheese graters lol, the ones i'm looking for have studs on them, i've see them before jus don't know the name of them "barnacles" lol Hi Ben, I think I know which ones you are talking about. Those were fan made and since they don´t actually appear on any SW movie, you will probably only find references for those from the makers or owners. I don't have any pictures of them, and actually, have not seen them posted in the forum for some time now. I just did a fast search on the web and could only find one picture. Hope this helps. Anyway, unless you are doing a free version of a TD, I would recommend going for the latex/rubber handplates... but, it is a matter of what you like better. Saludos.
