Kevin Myhre Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) Okay I've asked a few of these questions in my build thread --- but haven't gotten any replies so I figured I'd try here along with a few other questions. first off is return edges where are they supposed to be and where are they not? I know the forearm wrist part isn't supposed to have one but does that include the part circled in this pic? next is the return edge on the chest plate. does the top neck area have any at all? My other question is does anyone have any good pics of how the strapping works for the bicep to the forearm? I've seen tutorials but not really show a good picture of the inside and how the elastic is attached. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It should be minimal. The neck opening should not have any return. Some people use a strap between bicep and fore-arm. I for one do not find it necessary and it seems to reduce flexibility. I just add some foam padding to the inside of the forearm piece to keep it from moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebladejedi[TK] Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 The return edge on the wrist end should be non existent not the elbow end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Myhre Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Thanks. I thought that part should be taken out but didn't want to before checking and none of my reference pics really show that part very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleOne Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) for me... and i may be wrong.... no return edge at all on the forearms for the regular stormtroopers. I have scanned the movie in several places and i see no return edges on the forearm parts, not on top not at the bottom for both hero and stunt versions,,however, the biceps and shoulder bells have different degrees of return edges. the sandtrooper do have return edges on the top portion ( elbow region )of the forearm...look at ANH when the falcon leaves mos eisley's and you will see the return edges when the stormtrooper turns around and on the others. but the best bet is to scan the movie for accuracy.... my 2 cents Edited July 15, 2011 by LittleOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
