You are over thinking the issue. Any gap you have is fine ..it's the BELT that closes it . Pullthe belt tight , gap disappears .

The movie belts frayed , so should yours . It's all about screen accuracy .

You have to remember that when buying RS you are buying screen accuracy . The RS helmet comes with exact screen accurate foam Star inside , ad with exact screen accurate acetate lense matterial . That's what they used in the movie, so that's what RS supply . As to mesh behind the frown , the movie helmets didn't have it , so RS don't fit it. It's simply not screen accurate . personally I'd rather have screen accuracy , that's what it's all about for me , and as to trooping with a screen accurate helmet , no,problems, I've been doing it for years . As to the anavos helmet , well it's up to you but it is far from accurate , the only thing it has going for it is that it's the same size as an RS .

The originals were 12 inches from the lower edge up to the top cut , and five inches from the centre rib to each radial edge .

I believe RS have an abs offer on for the 40 anniversary at this very moment . Check their Facebook . <br> May 2017 .

Original prop maker of all the actual props eh ? <br> Well, he did vac form some armour parts I suppose . But he had nothing whatsoever to do with any of the blasters used in the film, <br> However, if you are pleased with it , then great .

It's not screen accurate, and just isn't right in my opinion. If you wear a balaclava nothing shows anyway .

Just superglue a piece of scrap,armour material behind the crack . No problems at all .

Sorry, mis post by me, now deleted . ;0)

I'd check the vendors list first if I were you . Getting this armor cleared would be quite a task .

Tony , don't you mean that the helmet IS asymmetrical ? I.e. Side don't match ?

Once again RS come thru with customer service !!! And super quick delivery . You are. Very lucky to have bought from such stand up guys . <br> Good luck with the rest of the build , hope you enjoy the experience .

Excellent choice of armour , in fact the best ! Well done .

The op seems happy enough Paul . That's what counts here .

Can't beat RS for customer service ! Anyone else would tell you to wait six months until they do a new run .

If I were you , I'd lose the foam at the back of the helmet . You will need the helmet to be as far away from your face as possible, to allow air circulation . Foam at the forehead pushes the helmet forwards , which is what you want .

The inner forearms should be noticeably different , send a photo of what you have to RS , and ask for confirmation .

I can't answer your question exactly as I don't have a TM helmet ( ;0( ) <br> But I have experience .. Amfewvyears ago I had a painted helmet and abs armour . The white paint I used wasn't the same as the White of my plastic armour .<br> I trooped for several years with this set up and no one ever noticed . It really doesn't matter .<br> And , remember ....the background helmets in the movie were painted !!! <br> I would say , buy an RS helmet , you will love it . <br> And as a bonus, you will have it in just a couple of weeks .

Now you have a TK number , you need to request open access to this forum . There is a link you need to,follow.

I don't remember a light sabre being handled by a hero TK in the ot ?? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The fx lid is hideous , but so is the rest of the armour . Just save up and get something that looks half decent .

Yes, of course they are ! Ring first of course, but visitors are always welcome in my experience . I often call in when passing .<br> Having a proper fitting can prevent any problems in the build .

Whatever it is , it was never in any Star Wars movie, that's for sure ! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Leave it exactly as it is , it's a very nice Jedi suit . And screen accurate ...no shock troopers in the movies .

It's screen accurate strapping , you get in it from the right side , poking your left arm in first, then your head ..its identical to normal except that the shoulder bells are there already . <br> With un armoured arms , you can reach up to put the helmet on / off more easily ( for me anyway) <br> I've never needed the biceps and firearms to be joined , they sit fine . <br> My armour is RS .
