I still have 2 questions though:
1- Where do I get a 5-button strip?
2- What do I do with the 22mm kidney notch (which was required for TK Centurion)?
-
And here is a detail of what I did for the 5 button strip.
Hi. Where did you get the 5-button strip?
-
Greetings brother (and sister) troopers!
I have a centurion-level ANH Stunt Stormtrooper (AP build) and I am interested in converting it into a TK Commander. Obviously I cannot consider a Level 3 TKC because both centurions are incompatible. But I'm quite OK with having a Level 1 TKC.
After reading the CRL, here are the changes I have to make. Can you tell me if I summed it up OK?
1) Fuse the kidney/butt plates into 1 piece
2) Flip 180 degrees the wide button plate on the abdomen
3) Change the 4-button rectangular plate into a 5-button plate
4) Remove the return edges of the torso plates and add the white c-trim border
5) Paint job: Blue stripes, black buttons, anchor design on the ears, grey dropboxes.
Is that it?
And I have additional questions:
- For the rectangular 5-button plate... Is the plate the same height (i.e. buttons are smaller)? Or is it taller (i.e. buttons as the same size)?
- The 22mm kidney cutout notch.... can it stay there? It's not mentioned at all (I think) in the TKC CRL.
Thanks

Can't find it either. It's not in the Ongoing Sales section. Where's the Detachment Merch page?
Found it.... I need coffee.

Je vais faire une petite visite de 4 jours à Paris en début septembre (ma 1ère fois)... Y'a-t-il des TK qui veulent prendre une petite bière?

- Hi Chills,
The decals I had came with the AP. They look too perfect... printer-perfect. I found it too difficult to apply. When I managed to properly smoothe a side, the other would pop out. Then, when I fixed that part, the first half would also pop out. I got frustrated and removed them. That's why I decided to just paint them.

One question: did you paint the helmet or are they decals? I'm just curious because I have some friends who are building AP armor (husband/wife working on a set for each) and they said theirs came with the decals and I'd like to see how they look on a completed helmet.
The helmet is hand-painted.. except for the tube stripes. I tried to put on the decals.My hope was to use them as templates and paint "over" them. But I found that applying the decals was too much trouble. So I just painted the details.

The note card was to hide the ugly springy door-stopper thing. LOL

Thanks. Actually, the shoulder bridges were quite stiff when I took the pictures. I since boiled them to make a better curve as seen here:
Here, you can see that the bridges have a nice curve and don't stick out This was taken at the recent Montreal ComicCon
For the belt, I have since added extra velcro so that the entire length is now securely attached (and not loose).
Thanks for any comment or suggestion. I'm here to improve it if need be
