PreD[TK] Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Hi Troops, This has probably already been done before but I took some photos of the three prop makers side by side for comparison. Hope it helps anyone weighing up the choices on which to buy.

The5thHorseman[501st] Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Those are really nice pictures ! I assume the TM shins are the longer version for tall people ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRISTONAMO Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 These pics are awesome, but do you have any of the chest and cod and ab plates? I'd like to see if those are closely sized too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Really good comparisons. One thing though. On the forearm and biceps pic you have the left arm for the TM and AP but the right arm for the RS. As RS had no original left parts maybe do a comparison of all right arm parts. Great pic anyways.

Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Gorgeous! IMHO I find the TM still to be the prettiest. His really are the bees knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PreD[TK] Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Great ideas, will get on to it soon. These pics are awesome, but do you have any of the chest and cod and ab plates?

Rich330[TK] Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Here are a couple of photos I took recently after receiving my new RS armour. Feel free to add them to the original post, if you think they're useful. Don't concentrate too much on any perceived colour difference. The TM is three years old, has seen a lot of dirt and direct sunlight in the Canaries. The RS is brand new (not even trimmed in the photo). My gut feeling says that TM's ABS has a very slightly more pronounced ivory tint. But, if, like me, you mix and match parts, it's hard to tell which is which from the colour. For the record, I own two sets of TM armour and two 3 TM helmets, one set of RS armour and 2 RS helmets. I did own a set of AP armour at one point. Briefly. In all photos: Left: RS / Right: TM And this is what an almost finished (*) set of RS armour looks like with a TM 1 mm painted ABS ESB helmet and TM acrylic capped ESB handguards. The plastic belt parts are also from the 2012 TM kit. (*belt needs to be changed for a proper "sandwich" construction, still need to adjust the shoulder straps and the chest-to-abdomen connection needs tightening) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich330[TK] Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) I also dug out these old photos. The ESB helmet on the left is a TM which Paul built for me in 2010. The RS on the right was built by Rob sometime around 2011 I believe. Paul will confirm but I think I'm right in saying that his stunt helmet moulds have been updated since the helmet in the photo was pulled. I've had a couple more helmets from him since and the last one seemed a little different. It may just be the way I put it together so don't quote me.

Daetrin[Admin] Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Thanks for sharing - I can look at these all day Very subtle differences between the two, and it's great that people can love on the one that speaks to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Exactly the kind of pictures that ends up right away on my hard-drive! Thanks a lot for sharing those. They're extremely interesting, and like Paul said it, I could stare at those all day long. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redinight Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I only own an unfinished Anovos kit, but I almost bought a RS two years ago. For the $380 I'm tickled. But that RS is still beautiful, but then again the price... I think all three have good qualities. This is a lot of fun though, actually working on it. Perhaps it will replace my Indy obsession which includes about four and a half complete variation Raiders sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeDave[TK] Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 What is the ABS colouring difference between the 3? I am looking to getting longer shins and thighs, from TM but I want them to be close to my AP kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
