This list is amazing and I'm starting to gather the items now so that when the big brown box arrives I'll be ready to get started! Thank you to everyone who is making this look/sound easier. I'm still concerned I'm going to screw it up, but fingers crossed with the help I find here, I'll be joining the crew on Troops soon. Thanks again! James There really wasn't a list of them, James, so I created a thread just now that may help: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/47307-list-of-soft-parts-for-your-build/ 1 Quote

CaitiL Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 Thank you sooo much for this list. My kit didn't come with a list or the materials, just the molds, so this is a huge help. My newbie self had no clue and was really stressing out... Thanks again!!! 1 Quote
FernixBix[TK] Posted September 5, 2019 Report Posted September 5, 2019 I'm going to shoot for centurion right out of the gate but I am doing a ROTJ TK, Can I still follow this parts list? Is the strapping materials that are used for ROTJ more or less the same? I know there are some differences but is the bulk of the elastics/rivets and snaps the same? Quote

More the less the same, there are a few details which are different and both CRL's have undergone updates recently, have a compare of the ANH and ROTJ CRL's http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:FISD_CRL Also have a read through this comparison sheet https://drive.google.com/file/d/10tEVteIreh6AHMogW010cuH_Bf8TBfU6/view 1 Quote

Mediterranean Blue Humbrol (Tube stripes alternative color) Testors: No exact match Gloss white for all rivet heads (excluding cod rivet). Mineral spirits for brush cleaning Newbie question, I searched Amazon for Humbrol #85 and an "acrylic" #85 came up....is this correct? Is acrylic paint the paint to use? I didn't see any references to acrylic listed so I wanted to make sure - thanks! https://www.amazon.com/Humbrol-Acrylic-Dropper-Bottle-DB0085/dp/B08DJDNGXQ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=humbrol+%2385+paint&qid=1620499744&sr=8-1 Quote

Both should be very prevalent at your local hobby store. Trooperbay also carries the appropriate TK paints.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

You will need to pick up a small container of mineral spirits as well to clean your brush(es). Hint: Be sure to gently shake or stir the paints before each use. Quote
