Sonnenschein Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 okay guys, After some time in the works I present to you the alternativ style for ANH latexhandguards: I made the master myself from some styrene, made some plaster molds and bought some latex.. et voila! This is the first pull, fresh out of the mold. There will be soon a for sale thread! so keep you eyes open! They will be moled with the first layer being pure white latex, follow by natural honey colored latex. That way, they will LOOK painted, but you won't have any paint cracks ( tough screen accurate) Oh, and I also found a source of highly screen accurate black gloves Feel free to post comments and ,if you like, express your interest in buying a set. regards, K.

TK-2126_MD[TK] Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 Ohhh very stormtrooperish..... Chewy likes them. About your question of the latex free hand gaurds i dont know..... the hand gaurds are awesome it the plastic gloves that kill me, regardless if they are screen accurate. i am around nuff rubber at work as it is. but the idea of add these to other gloves sounds intresting.

Sonnenschein Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Posted January 17, 2010 Karin , any updates on if these are for sale trooper Of course they are Look here Thanks, Karin Quote
manxtrooper Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Anyone know the history of the latex guards? Why they were used instead of plastic ones? Were plastic ones made and disguarded? Quote
Sonnenschein Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Posted January 19, 2010 Anyone know the history of the latex guards? Why they were used instead of plastic ones? Were plastic ones made and disguarded? Good question I never tought about that. I hope Paul chimes in. But they VERY comfortable to wear. And easy to atttach; just glue them on. Maybe it was for safety reasons. Ot they were a last minute addition, AFTER the armors were formed. K. Quote
