SANDTROOPER SNIPER KNEE PLATE
The Sandtroopers of the Star Wars Sagas differ in appearance from regular Stormtroopers in several ways. One of the more distinctive visual differences is the diamond shaped "Sniper Plate" worn over the left knee on the left leg "Greave" (lower leg armor piece). This item is not available from a commercial producer. Old Sarge Oberon TD124 therefore made his own Sniper Plate and he offers the following TUTORIAL and photos to assist others in making this item of dress peculiar to Star Wars Sandtroopers.
