lonewolf Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 This is my sculpt for the Biker Scout knees, I have made plenty of return edge for the rivets, test pulls, It still needs a few tweaks, I am at the crazy stage of looking at knees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dart Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'd like to see how your pull compares to some of the other knee armour out there. Looks really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonewolf Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Thanks guys, I still see some minor things but I think it is pretty close to the originals now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioCreations Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Looks awesome! I am envious of that return edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automaton Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 One issue I have with the knee armor (all kinds not yours) is that it seems to be designed for bent legs, such as when riding a speeder bike. But it isn't that great to wear when you're standing up, which is what I mostly do in my costume. I'm just wondering if the extra return edge on your knee armor makes this even worse?

Guest Penn Chemist Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Have you actually wore them yet John? Alex makes a good point, return edge is major and makes and overall great look, but is it practical for actually wearing? Anything to say of that regard? One word is SHARP! Man, they look great. Really nice sharp edges, just great definition. Really quite amazing I think. Look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pad the inside of the knee, the return edges won't make a difference. If you check out my thread HERE, I've found some cool padding to use that's comfy and looks good. Also, if you sew some velcro to the front of your knee and stick some in the kneepad, you don't need the elastic to be so tight. That also makes it more comfortable to wear.

lonewolf Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 They just sit on the top and botton curved edges, the rest of the knee plate "floats" over my knee, it is comfortable and there is a bit of air around my knee. The extra space actually helps with bending my knee as it is not dragging over the suit, which will hopefully stop any costume fixes whilst trooping. I don't want to add velcro just yet. I thought about padding but don't think the original guys had any so I can't add it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
