burnjp5 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Hey everyone, I would love some advice about what helmets I can mix with an AM body and not have it look disproportion... (5'10 180) if this is in the wrong place please move it, I'm obviously fresh blood Quote
ZeroRoom[TK] Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 I've seen TM, AP and RT- Mod all look great and not out of proportion to AM kits at all. It really depends more on how you trim and scale the armor. Have a look at PandaTroopers AM build (pinned at the top of armor builds) to see a guy about your size make an AP helmet with AM armor look awesome. Also check out TKrestonva's recent centurion application pics. He's rocking a TM with AM armor and it looks top notch. If you are really concerned then go for an RT-Mod helmet which is about 4% bigger than other helmet kits but very accurate looking. This helmet was designed to keep scale with larger sets of armor like AM and RT. Cheers Lucas Quote
burnjp5 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Posted May 27, 2011 Thanks for the quick reply! Finally feel comfortable mixing and matching two different makes looking at this. Quote

In addition to the aforementioned, you could go VT, ATA, MRCE/eFx, CAP-W, etc. Pretty much anything you like. Quote
BananoPower22[TK] Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) Exactly. I have a VT helmet and it goes very well with my AM ---------- Edited January 25, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
burnjp5 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Posted May 27, 2011 You guys rock!!! Aside from the quick replies, this makes me feel completely comfortable mixing these two together. I am constantly impressed and very appreciative of all your wisdom and politeness. THANKS! Quote
Eric Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) i have AM and wear an RT helmet. looks good to me. Edited January 25, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photo updated gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
Hedjii72 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Glad to see this thread! I am picking up an AP helmet, and am planning to get AM armor. I am 6'2, 185 lbs. Hopefully it will work for me. Quote
burnjp5 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Posted May 27, 2011 This is all awesome, one other question.. do helmets just fit one size to all or do you have to measure it? I've read some stuff about padding to make it fit your head better but I assumed they all just kind of were the same measurements... Quote
Eric Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 some helmets fit snugger than others. usually adding/removing padding is all you need to do, but for some people larger helmets are a must... Quote
Wildabeast[TK] Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 AM + AP here...I think it look alright Quote
NoVATie[Admin] Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 Helmets are basically one size fits all. The angle of the faceplate during assembly can make the neck opening bigger or smaller by a little bit, but generally the amount and thickness of the padding you put in will size it for your head.

pandatrooper[TK] Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 AM and TMC ABS helmet was a very good match for me in terms of size and plastic color. Just polish the TMC plastic and they are almost a perfect match. Quote
JimCem99[501st] Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) I also have AM with RT helmet Edited June 11, 2011 by JimCem99 Quote

Just going to bacta this thread to make a comment on this statement. Helmets are most definitely not one size fits all. AP helmets are tiny, I have one, I love it, but it's by far the smallest helmet I've seen of any of the other troopers I've hung out with (I've seen a TM, FX, and RT right next to mine) I've got a MTK kit headed my way and once I get it assembled I'll post some pics of it beside my AP for size comparison. It's something to think about, I know a lot of people can simply can not fit their head into my AP helmet whilst they can get Eric's (RT) helmet on just fine. Edited July 19, 2011 by MiDri Quote
