SuperTrooper Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Actually it's only on the left bicep, the right one does not have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebladejedi[TK] Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Matt aka TE said there was only one side with the tumb print but i am sure Brian Muir said it was on both sides. I have tried to find where he answered this question... Im sure TM aka Paul will know one way or the other for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Batman[TK] Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I do remember reading somewhere that although it was on the left it did somewhat depend on the person getting dressed as to where they wore it- the same is true, I believe, of the shoulder bells. I can't remeber where I read that but seem to think it was here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluehickey Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks putting in the thumb prints into your armor is taking the whole screen accurate thing a bit too far? Should we also be taping everything with white tape as well to keep it together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the average onlooker, thumbprints or even white tape would be the last thing on their minds just like watching the films when you were a kid. Just look at how many people fell for the rubies. Its a testament to how poor most peoples visual memory is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we also be taping everything with white tape as well to keep it together? This is just how many ANH armor kits come, so it's not a matter of choice it's what you get. Now if you take an FX and decide to put a thumbprint in in, this is entirely up to the individual. At that point you're heading down the road of prop recreation, which is a different flavor of costuming. This is what's so fun of the hobby and our club - there is a base standard that you need to hit, but how far you go beyond that is entirely up to you. Look at Boba - some guys do an good job. Others like my garrison-mate Luke strive to recreate every scratch and scrape exactly. I can't imagine how many hours those guys put in to detailing their armor - certainly far more than most costume types and certainly more than most TK's. * * Unless you're name is Paul and you're from the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
