Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 OMG! You did it, you did it! These are incredible. I think you may have earned another award with these
bjsavage7[TK] Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 Just in time. I think I finally need a new pair for my ANH TK.
LeMaxim[TK] Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 Great work Karin! And here I was thinking that you're already had it down perfectly. Well. Like the saying goes. “In the end you're only competing with yourself.†You really did beat yourself good this time.

Sonnenschein Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Posted March 11, 2014 Thank you guys! I too overwhelmed with feelings right now to write an answer. There are some other details I'll show you shortly, but I need to takes pics first. . . . .. . . . Now I can finally move on to the neck seal! LOL
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 Wow, Karin... Artistry adds Sonnenschein to the roster, alongside Michelangelo, Donatello, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, et al.
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 So there's no knuckle indentations in fact? They're just made by the own wearer's knuckles pushing/pressing on the latex flashing? That's really interesting! Sounds like another incredible piece of small accuracy discovered Congrats Karin!

Thank you! You are correct. Furthermore, the paint will go off on the pressure points, enchancing the "effect". But the can still be simulated.
Sonnenschein Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Posted March 12, 2014 I forgot: there were some very flat hand guards, without flash, like the sandtrooper guards.
Sonnenschein Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Posted March 12, 2014 I'll put the first sets for sale tomorrow!

Sonnenschein Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Posted March 12, 2014 I'm using chrome in case you're wondering: Yours (and other I made in the past) are still screen accurate. Not all were thin and "super flexible"

iconoclasta_88[501st] Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 I forgot: there were some very flat hand guards, without flash, like the sandtrooper guards. Does that mean I am going to need two sets? 1 for my Sandtrooper and 1 for my ANH Stormtrooper? Interesting. Saludos
Sonnenschein Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Posted April 7, 2014 Probably, Juan, Probably. See, the sandtrooper hand guards I found were all flat, thin, solid, and had no tilt. You could say the complete oppposite of the stormtrooper hand guards. I even found one that looked totally different than all others (no, NOT the cheese grater), but I still need to research on it.
iconoclasta_88[501st] Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 Very interesting. If you have any new info or references, that would be very cool to see. Ill be patiently waiting for a set of those TD handguards... Saludos
SlyFox740[TK] Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 Karin has since retired from making her legendary hand guards, but she sold her molds and now these hand guards are available again from Imperial Supply Depot: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/41111-imperial-supply-depot/
TK73511 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 Karin has since retired from making her legendary hand guards, but she sold her molds and now these hand guards are available again from Imperial Supply Depot: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/41111-imperial-supply-depot/ Hello buddy Thanks for shout out. I am indeed carrying on the legend of Karins excellent guards. The variants are: Glossy silicone Painted latex with anti-scuff/peel paint Super thin sandtrooper Black TX silicone and latex Cheese grater sandtrooper Alternative (hero) in latex or silicone Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 Since the original thread was made by Karin who no longer offers these, you can go to Clive's excellent resource thread. It's great to see the torch being passed to good hands. Karin - you will forever be remembered as the Queen of Hand Guards on FISD. Probably nearly every trooper who is using latex hand guards is because of you! 3
