TK 2 TKC Conversion Inquiry

[Somatophylax[501st]]

Greetings brother (and sister) troopers!

 

I have a centurion-level ANH Stunt Stormtrooper (AP build) and I am interested in converting it into a TK Commander.  Obviously I cannot consider a Level 3 TKC because both centurions are incompatible. But I'm quite OK with having a Level 1 TKC.

 

After reading the CRL, here are the changes I have to make. Can you tell me if I summed it up OK?

1) Fuse the kidney/butt plates into 1 piece

2) Flip 180 degrees the wide button plate on the abdomen

3) Change the 4-button rectangular plate into a 5-button plate

4) Remove the return edges of the torso plates and add the white c-trim border

5) Paint job: Blue stripes, black buttons, anchor design on the ears, grey dropboxes.

 

Is that it?

 

And I have additional questions:

- For the rectangular 5-button plate... Is the plate the same height (i.e. buttons are smaller)?  Or is it taller (i.e. buttons as the same size)?

- The 22mm kidney cutout notch.... can it stay there? It's not mentioned at all (I think) in the TKC CRL.

 

Thanks

Feel free to go check out my build thread. I completed a TKC build using ANH armor as the base. You've got most of it though.

I still have 2 questions though:

 

1- Where do I get a 5-button strip?

2- What do I do with the 22mm kidney notch (which was required for TK Centurion)?
