Cover strip return edge?


Recommended Posts

A random musing... I'm not sure I've seen it done, but should a cover strip have a return edge?  It might match better, aesthetically, but it's early in the morning, so maybe my caffeine hasn't set in yet and either everyone's doing it, or it's just a terrible idea.

Take a look at the photo reference galley here on FISD. The Lucasfilm archives show actual screen used armor parts. You'll see there that the cover strips are just flat (literal strips) plastic.

I was imagining it curling in at the top and bottom, rather than just sitting flat across the face - so you'd end up with a bracket, rather than a flat piece.  I think it'd look neater... but yeah, non-canon.
