TheRascalKing's TLJ-to-TFA Denuo Novo First Order TK Conversion Thread *WIP*

[TheRascalKing[TK]]

***WORK IN PROGRESS***

 

Soooo what's the difference between a TFA and TLJ style FOTK?

 

And what would it take to convert the primarily TLJ-focused Denuo Novo First Order Stormtrooper kit to TFA-style? Let's get into it.

 

The Force Awakens ("TFA") First Order Stormtrooper CRL

 

The Last Jedi ("TLJ") / The Rise of Skywalker ("TRoS") First Order Stormtrooper CRL

 

We'll start with noting the difference in general, but with special emphasis on the Denuo Novo kit, which is clearly intended to be TLJ style, but has several parts that are actually more suited for TFA. I have grouped several elements together and will explain my plan for each element. Is this inclusive of all changes made? Probably not, but hopefully it is enough for multiple approvals utilizing the same base kit, with a little extra intentional work.

Helmet

 

The helmet is one of the most noticeable changes, especially the addition of "teeth" on the TLJ model, though other small updates are present.

Forearms

 

 

 

 

For this build, I will be utilizing a set of Imperial Surplus TFA-style ABS forearms. Let's build them!
