nice looking lid, all I can see is the tubestripes look a little close to the cheeks...

 

other than that it's very well built!

Needs some frown mesh too!

Actually that's personal preference, the originals didn't have any frown mesh. I have it in my trooping helmet though.

not to hijack this thread, and it is also a little OT but ATA makes some cool HIPS helmet too... for those who are wondering....

Looks good - just need to get some covers on the belt attachements. ;)

It's still unfinished bro,it even doesn't have crotch strap :D this is the only opportunity i can wore the armor,just to show how it would looked like together

Oh,ATA kit doesn't include the mesh,and i prefer not to use it either,coz that's what's on screen(thanks for clearing it up Terrell!).....and it's not mine so the new owners must apply that themselves if they wanted to

 

Looks very nice. Good Job!

:blush: thank you sir

mine or Brendan's? :D on mine the armor is also an ATA ABS

I have a couple of each in hips and abs. I love em. The abs is good for the people that don't want to deal with painting.

If you need more details about the kit email me at ataworks@yahoo.com, please no PMs I get enough with FISD and Legion stuff.

 

Terrell, I have e-mailed you at ataworks@yahoo.com titled "WANTED-Replacement Parts for TD armor". Looking forward to hear from you soon. :)

So i take the new ABS lids are non-bumpy?

 

If they are, has anyone buffed one down smooth?

No, they are bumpy. I doubt you can "buff them down". Youd have to sand it but then you'll lose the shine of the ABS. You CAN sand it with 300-400 grit and then with a finer grit like 600 and then 1000 grit to get it as smooth as possible and then use the novus ABS polish, all 3 steps...but i found that even though it can get back alot of the shine, it will never be that super gloss look after sanding...at least not in my experience. Personally i just paint my ABS kits as well. I like the look of the painted suits/helmets and get the ABS for the durability factor more than anything. So you could go that route as well.

Oh yeah! I am totally getting one of these when I get some cash again! Then, I can go dirty with my current suit.

It can be made to fit, but would take work. I think the largest fellow who ever got TE derived armor to work was Joe Kurley who at the time was up in Alaska. He was just a little taller/heavier (IIRC 6'3" 240lbs).

 

While it *can* work, at his height/weight RT or AM are more compatable with that body size.
