Riot shield and baton variant research

[Sithtrooper02[TK]]

I am completing the 3D design for the riot shield and baton and wanted to share reference pictures and have discussion/ agreement on those images I used,  prior to moving to print.  Hot toys reference pictures are useful for the baton, but there is enough pictures of the shield to complete the reference without using hot toys images.

- Probably just like FOTK, shield and baton go together, no jetpack or rifle when having those.

 

Shield:

- Shield is similar to FOTK riot shield but somehow different. The IAC are also wearing them hanged on their back top anchor points, but unclear how they attached those. I'll try to find a way to have anchor points on the shield, but at the same time, there is nothing visible on the inside of the shield that suggest features to attach it to the back anchors.

- It is clearly only hanged by the top anchors as we can see the shield pivot and swing on their back when the IAC are fighting with mando

- Shield has a handle and a strap on the inside. 

- The 4 pointed greeblies are clearly defined in the reference pictures and different from the hot toys that seems simplified in multiple places.

 

Baton

- There is limited images, mostly blurred in the movie reference. On the hot toys, there are way more details and seem to correlate to blurr images.

- the details of the inside of the tip section is only partially referenced, best guess design from there !

Excellent.

Will be great to hash this out and come up with images to add to the CRL for optional accessories.
