Dday[501st] Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 BFA? There is not supposed to be a rivet on the sniper plate. You are supposed to glue the sides down and hold them in place while they cure with clamps or magnets, you also add the same glue to the middle of the sniper plate where it touches the shin. detailed photos of you knee would be great to help us determine how you can go about it with your specific make of armor.

SW1 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Billy welcome mate , Derrek is quite right there are no rivit's holding the sniper plate on to the left shin only glue this is how the original's were . Butt and i say butt there is a Old School UKG TK with the same name as you that had this in genius idea of having the sniper plate attached by screw's and you cant see how they are attached from the outside this is cool because if you damage your sniper plate when trooping just unscrew it and get another Check it out there is a diagram showing this on the UKG stormtrooper armoury section under a TM Build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dday[501st] Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I have some ideas of how a screw fastened on the back of the sniper plate could be used, and not seen from the front, ingenious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) all you need to do is get some 1/8" screw posts, drill holes in some "snap plate" style panels then glue the panels to the inside of the knee plate. then align and drill holes in the shin upper lip. then screw the knee plate on from the inside. this way the screws are on the inside of every part. just make sure that you don't put any glue directly on the screw. I usually cover it with duct tape. Edited March 21, 2013 by TK Bondservnt 2392 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
