Sonnenschein Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 According to TK300's homepage, there have been at least 3 kinds of handplates usedin ANH. Are there pics available of the other two styles? have they ever been replicated? Karin Quote
Amish Trooper Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 I am far from an expert but I can only guess that he would be refering to the standard TK and then there are the ones for the TD's Quote
troopermaster Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 Top = Sandtrooper Middle = ANH regular Bottom = ANH alternative Quote
Amish Trooper Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 Thanks Paul. Isn't there also the bumpy handplate for TD's so actually that would bring us to 4 different ones Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 IIRC there are two types of TD hand plates. One is the normal TK, the other is what appears to just be gaffer's tap rather than a purpose made design. Quote
Plastic Fury[TK] Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 Thanks Paul. Isn't there also the bumpy handplate for TD's so actually that would bring us to 4 different ones I believe you are referring to the Dewback rider's handplates, they had the bumpy handplates if memory serves. Quote
TK-1287 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 Interesting, I didn't know about that 3rd design. Quote
troopermaster Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 The alternate hand plates are nothing new. They are worn by Han Solo and lots of of other troopers if you look closely. Quote
synaptyx Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 Cool stuff. Paul, you could write a book about armour research! Quote

Any idea how two hand plates came to be? Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 Also, I'm wondering when a latex version of the alternate will ever show up ;-) Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 Ive been after a latex version of these hand plates for well over a year now.... still waiting Quote
Verne Posted July 5, 2009 Report Posted July 5, 2009 Wow, I learn something about these sandtrooper's handplates Thanks Paul Quote
Sonnenschein Posted July 5, 2009 Author Report Posted July 5, 2009 I should have known that Paul is really THE troopermaster- Thank you, sir. While looking at the pics, a new question has come to me: I nthe pics where the two grab the wookie arm, you can see some sort of hook on the bicep. Is there any info on this feature? I don't think I have seen that very often... Karin Edit: foound the thread regarding the hook http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?show...402&hl=hook Quote
troopermaster Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 I have a few pairs of these hand plates in ABS. If anyone would like a pair, PM me. Quote
