ShadowSpawn[TK] Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 i want to build a TK Commander but all I have is ANH armor. So my thought is to just convert the ANH armor into ROTJ armor. Is the "trim" the only thing different? I can probably order the shoulder bells separately (I hope). Other than that it looks like the forearms, quads and shins are all the same between ANH and ROTJ? I have an ANH bucket, hand guards, belt, thermal and those look like they would work for the TK Commander. Thanks for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 The ROTJ version of armor is assembled by joining the parts in an overlap fashion much different than the basic ANH style of butt joining the parts. Overlaps at all joins on arms and legs one piece kidney and butt plate. U shaped white trim on torso parts 5 button panel on abdomen instead of 4 Different Thermal Detonator design That is the basic rundown for the TKC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSpawn[TK] Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I should note I have an ANH kit so building it with overlapping joints should not be a problem. As for the thermal detonator. The CRL in the main 501st page shows ANH for first level approval and ROTJ version for 3rd level approval. Is this accurate?

ISBEAR[501st] Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 All Anh kits features the coverstripmethod/buttjoint? Exept maybe the mc kit. If you are referring to the crl. You can use a buttjoint for level 1. For level two its required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSpawn[TK] Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 My hope is that since it's a kit I can build it to have the correct overlapping ROTJ style joints But yes all I'm going for is level 1 approval. I plan on getting: - Trim to convert the ANH torso into ROTJ - 2 shoulder Bells (because from what I read the shoulders are also very different) - ROTJ build instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRoS[TK] Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 How is this going? is it possible to get level 1 approval from an ANH armour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
