Are left and right handplates the same?

[john danter]

I know the ones you mean Rich. Dashrazor put them up a while back? Each film?

 

I'll sell these on for £5 a pair when finalized, so any input on getting them bang on would be cool. Karin has told me my thumb line edge needs to slope into rather thasn step into that part.

I'll try and sort that today

No, these are more recent. Just ANH.

Reviving this to get more input

This is the best picture I found with the "straight edge", altough the upper right corner is missing.

 

 

[Sonnenschein]

Here's a quick comparison:

 

 

 

What other differences do you spot besides the edge?

Hi Karin could you make the handgaurds to have a bumpy effect in areas as seen in that photo ? it would also match some of the bumpy origanal helmets , just a thought

[Sonnenschein]

You can read my mind! I've been trying to achieve this effect for the last days. I'm showing pics soon...

this image looks oriented correctly.

 

 

firing towards the bridge, as the door closes.

 

 

one thing about cutting the knuckle curves:

 

the cut seems to be knuckle cut at the bottom edge where it meets the glove, while the handplate's contour is kept str8.

 

the knuckle cuts being on the bottom can be pretty easy to do actually.

 

if you leave some latex out of the mould and let it fill up the edge of the mould, but taper the inside lower than the edge

 

you would be able to cut with scissors a set of knuckle indentations on the thinner inner lip, created by

 

leaving latex out of the mould and tapering it towards the edge.

 

I'll try to post a couple of photos using my handplates as a guide...

[Sonnenschein]

Vern, this is exactly how I do my "knuckles"

 

If you'd like to make a guide for cutting, please do it for the recent non-latex plates

 

I'd do it myself, but I dont have any left. You have the honor to own the very last one
