[An old kit, but does it check out?]

A few threads which may be of interest, some items may have changed due to CRL updates, we don't see many FX builds these days, best to check them against what you have in your hands 

 

 

I do not have authorizations to view this topic, sadly.

[An old kit, but does it check out?]

Greetings and salutations!

 

One of the reasons for my return is that a friend of mine gave me a nearly complete TK set. If my old knowledge and discernment haven't failed me, it's quite likely an old FX kit or it's direct competitor from back in the early 2000's, which name has escaped my memory. I've seen posts or guidelines urging people to steer away from them, as they're not necessarily up to scratch anymore. I must make it work, however, as my budget will not allow for another purchase. I will do my best to document my progress here (slowly), and how I worked towards the best, most accurate, build I can manage. 

 

Here's what I have observed so far:

The helmet is likely out of spec, but as it's missing most of it's trim, this might be the ideal opportunity to convert it for accuracy, and if not, I'll buy a modern kit.

All extra hardware is long lost, so it must all be sourced.

All I have is the plastic and a few ancient stickers, which don't seem very accurate, based on recent searches.

The plastic is lovely and thick, with no yellowing at all.

 

I put this build here, as I do not know if the armor can be built towards an ESB spec, or ANH stunt spec. Some advice on this would be invaluable.

 

Pictures up as soon as I can.

 

I will appreciate every bit of help and advice I can get.

Hello Jonathan! We're so glad to have you back!  What kit do you intend to build?

While I had a Black-hole trooper before, I think I'll build a standard TK, as I have no idea what variants exist anymore, and this kit appears to be the same as the ANH kit I had so very long ago.

I figured I would browse the forums for the other variant CRLs and give it some research and thought.

Greetings, all!

 

It's been a very long time since I've been around the forums, or the Legion in general. My life has seen a great many twists and turns, from the bottom of life with awful misfortune, to the highs of my loving family and friends. 

I've missed so much (har, har)  in the Legion since I've been away, so I've got a lot to catch up on. 

I've got a new kit to assemble, boots to source, and other details to work out, but for now, hello!

Hello! My name is Jonathan and I go by 'Squirrel' on all forums I'm on. Thought I'd drop in and say 'Hi' as well as check a few things. . .

 

I am currently an Inactive Member of the 501st, stationed with the Tampa Bay squad, Florida Garrison. I am currently working on a few suits so I can change that! I'm working on a Shadow Guard in earnest, and I requires a few TK parts, hence why I'm here! Plus I was thinking of working on a ROTJ TK soon. . .
