how is a sandy sniper plate installed?

[pandatrooper[TK]]

Just out of curiosity, how is a TD sniper knee installed? All I see is the diamond itself, just wondering how it attaches to the shin.

 

Thanks!

From what I've seen it's just riveted through the front of the plate. The rivet then painted white.

All I did was cut out a dimond shaped backing, used a rivit to attach I to the knee then glued the actual plate to the backing and filled in the gaps with caulk. That way it looks clean and you don't see a rivit in the middle.

 

Hope that help.

Awesome, that's exactly what i was looking for. Thanks everyone!

 

As an asides, what's with the "cheese grater" hand plates for Sandys? I don't recall seeing those in the films, are they canon?

Yes. There was like 1 dude that had them... maybe more. But they are canon.

 

The cheese, however, is not.

"cheese grater" hand plates are all over Tatooine in ANH,

 

here is some pix:

Like I said, maybe more... but, still... no cheese.

Wow - a blast from the past - I should ping him to see if he'd mind us using this directly in the forum where it'd be searchable.

 

You can mount it directly but depending on your setup the thigh and sniper plate may interfere, hence putting the buffer on there.

It's a personal preference. Some dig it, others not so much. Personally I'm not too keen on them.
