kaa1304[TK] Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Mornin' Whats the thought on the shape of these guards? I've got loads of threads marked and some are curved, some are ----- and angular and some fantastic builds don't even have them! I've got a couple of the DD's ones and am happy to whack them on, in all honesty, just wondered what you guys thought - I'm not going for 101% utterly accurate, more "that looks good and has no outstanding mistakes" cheers Edited October 18, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 If they aren't on, they should be. They are curved on the Sterling L2A3 used in ANH/&ESB, and straight on the Canadian C-1 which the model company MCG made copies of, which were used in ROTJ. In short, it depends on which movie version you make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Doopy doos are fine, curved it normaly what they are, I have made some from aluminium and plastic. Just make sure you glue them on the right way lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaa1304[TK] Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Making a ROTJ, which suggests straight then. Meh! I must admit, i find curved far more aesthetically pleasing (or as aesthetically pleased as you can be for 2 small bits of stuff). thanks both!

Darth Hilarious Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'd go for straight ones They'd be easy enough to scratch make (can anyone grab some measurements so we can make a template for these? Vern??) The curved are prettier, true But it's a RotJ blaster It's not even about super accuracy It's that all the things which make it different make it special My §0.02, anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vern??) The curved are prettier, true But it's a RotJ blaster I was just looking through my templates, they seem to be the only thing missing - such is life. Also need to get my hands on the right sights - I don't suppose anyone has any leads on sellers? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
