Dark Trooper[TK] Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 I am thinking about doing a Storm Trooper Commander and but first I can use ATA to build it right? my Next question is that can I just paint it with blue that's on the armor I know I am new too all of this building a costume's so if some want's to give me some insight on what to do would be some great help to me.

Bushido Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 You should check out the CRL for the TKC. http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_commander As for armor, it's pretty much using the RotJ TK as a base and then the blue paint and some weathering. Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 there are lot's of subtle details in the TKC costume, the details of the builds can be found in build threads in the TKC section. look closely... some get it right. and some leave out little things. Quote
Thalizar[TK] Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 I'm using ATA as my base for my commander build. For 501st acceptance this would be fine. one thing you want to look into is if you plan on taking it to EI or Centurion you will have to make some modifications. The big thing is that ATA does not have a one piece Butt/kidney plate. The ATA kit has a seperate butt/kidney plate. that is something EI will require you to have. The Commander is a mix of ANH and ROTJ so both elements are present in the build. I replaced the Butt/kidney plate with one that is one piece. Look at the CRL and see what will work for you, and how far you want to take your build. There are several subtle changes in the build which can be acheived with ATA, just depends on what you want to put into it. Quote
dashrazor Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 i used an ATA for my ICN and TKC builds and simply attached the butt/kidney plates with an internal strip of plastic Quote
Dark Trooper[TK] Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Posted January 12, 2012 That sounds like a good idea put some internal strips of plastic in there. What is the EI or Centurion? I just want it get approved though the 501st and no one in my garrison has a Commander and I am going to get my helmet though ATA too. now on the rivets can they show or not I have read some can and some can't? is there anymore things that I need to do for a commander.
