ROTJ Finishing Strips

[SolderMaster]

To get Centurion, do we need/ or can we use ANH finishing strips? For the forearms, bicepts, shins, and thighs.

if you plan on going ROTJ the ideal way is to do an overlap as seen on screen. but as it stands, there is no centurion requirement for overlaps or cover strips. (this could change in the future). as far as i know there are currently only 2 armor types that are specifically designed to overlap (AM and CFO) though you may be able to force an overlap with an ANH style kit but this might or might not work depending on the kit and a persons body type.

 

so to fully answer your question. cover strips are not required for the time being but can be used for ROTJ armor (though not preferred)

 

i would say if you can get an overlap to work and look decent, by all means do it ... and if you need to use cover strips they are still passable. in some cases the overlap might look bad if the armor is not designed to be assembled that way, or if you have a body type that just wont allow an decent looking overlap

 

can i ask what armor you are using? or planning to use?

also for the TKC and ICN ect... it doesn't matter either way the suit is an ANH/ROTJ hybrid so cover strips are (and will likely always be) optional .

Thanks Mason,

 

This is an ATA kit. In the CRL, it doesnt specify. I saw a thread with a purposed CRL that says "no finishing strips" and wasnt sure if it got approved or not.
