FN-3181 Posted May 27, 2016 Report Posted May 27, 2016 What are the main differences between a ANH TK and a TKC? And would a ATA ANH kit painted with the TKC blue stripes be acceptable(assuming all the random bits an bobs are as well)? Quote
T K[501st] Posted May 27, 2016 Report Posted May 27, 2016 Besides the paint job, the only difference in the armor is that the butt plate and kidney plate are fueled together (like RotJ). Quote
dejango[TK] Posted May 27, 2016 Report Posted May 27, 2016 I think any kind of kit would work well for a TKC. ATA, ANOVOS, etc, as long as the proper modifications are made 1 Quote
magni[TK] Posted May 27, 2016 Report Posted May 27, 2016 Yes any kit should work. But they are built totally different. A few things it's overlap not butt joint. Ab button plate flipped like ROTJ. No bicep strap. Extra rivets on belt. And a bunch more. Check out the CRL and study up the differences between it and the reg. TK. Aim for Centurion and good luck. Quote
DayFire Posted May 27, 2016 Report Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) I'm working on my TKC using an anovos kit. Overlap is only necessary for centurion level. Some of the differences are trim, fused kidney/butt plate, different belt, no holster, inverted button plate, 5th small strip button (centurion only), symmetrical shoulder bells (no bottom flare), extra rivets on the belt (centurion only), different thermal detonator (centurion only), and no bicep straps (EIB and centurion). I think that's everything but I might have forgotten something. Feel free to check out my WIP in the build threads to see what I've done. Edited May 27, 2016 by DayFire Quote
FN-3181 Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Posted May 27, 2016 Do you need to buy the fused butt and kidney plate separate or can it be modded Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk Quote

DayFire Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 Glad I was able to help. I haven't gotten many comments on my thread but I think I've managed the conversion pretty well. Hoping to submit this weekend. 1 Quote
FN-3181 Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Posted June 25, 2016 Im planning on a scratch build tkc with an ata but your thread was awesome Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk Quote
DayFire Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 Thanks! It's been a long 4 months. Definitely the longest I've spent on a costume to date but also that fastest a TK has been finished in our area lol. Quote
FN-3181 Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Posted June 25, 2016 Wow the fastest was 4 months?? Thats something i haven't heard yet was timeframe Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk Quote
DayFire Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 Yeah the other guys in our area took about a year but we've gotten a lot bigger in the last year or two and have lots more people with experience now so they're going faster. I didn't really have a super solid time frame just wanted to get it finished. Quote
FN-3181 Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Posted June 25, 2016 Man so its lookin like even after ordering the ata and waiting the ridiculous amount of time it will take another five or six months at least Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk Quote
