Probably best to get a new set from rob, as I don't think the dimensions of his helmet have changed that much, his helmets now come with the correct bumps, so I don't see why you couldn't get a pair.
Not sure about how other makers would fit, but also might be best to go with Robs again because of color matching the plastics.
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers!

He's now using the proper green lens too.

Ears have all the bumps. I think at one point they didn't but now they are correct. Only thing that I would suggest is adding the extra screw to the bottom of each ear for accuracy. It's not a biggy, as its super easy to add yourself, but with when he did mine there was no screws.
Other than that Robs kit is spot on for the taller or bigger troopers... He really does a great job on his helmets so I would just let the master work IMO...nothing to worry about!

Aaron

Welcome Jillian! (fellow Vancouver-ite) We need more TK's in the squad!
Have you signed up on the Badlands forums yet? Great supportive group here on whitearmor.net and locally within the Outer Rim Squad. Dont be a stranger and ask many questions.

Congrats Eric! Whens the inauguration? Wheres the black tie gala celebration?.....

Awesome idea, I was thinking about incorporating foam in some way, but that sounds like it might just work, thanks Geaux!
@pattrooper - Hey Pat, are you signed up on the Badlands boards? If you are approved you should get out for a troop!

also, Hi Neighbour!

its the vibration going up through the mic, if i take it off the helmet and hover it in the same spot the mic doesnt pick it up but its that its against the plastic...i was hoping there would be some sort of way to insulate the arm of the mic, I know i could just use the headset, but if there is a way I would prefer not to.

Hey all,
I have 1 squirrel fan and an aker mic set up in my helmet. I cut the mic down and installed it via velcro directly into the helmet as I found being large of head that it was difficult to put my helmet on with a mic around my ears.
Since then I have had a lot of noise/vibrations being picked up by the mic because it is now right against the plastic only being separated by a layer of velcro...I didnt think it would be that bad but it sure is picking up a lot of sound and I sound like a car running. Have any of you run across this? Is there a way to insulate the mic or fan?
I have tried the fan on the other side of the helmet also... btw all the tape and velcro in the helmet is an attempt to see if it could insulate it..looks a little ugly..sorry for the pic quality.

WooT! Have fun with the build! Again, welcome to the RT-Mod club!
-
Im 6'3" 215 pnds. I have an RT-Mod that fits quite well, lots of trimming as im lanky/long limbed, but one thing I find is that the thighs could do with being a little longer....

There was a thread on these guys before started by TM himself...seems like they went to quite the lengths to make it seem legit, what a shame.

***woops, John you posted about the RTA thread just as I was posting this!
Either way there is the link. -
Paypal sent!
This really struck a note, thank you for organizing this Tom.

Welcome to FISD!
I am exactly your measurements and I would definitely recommend the RT-Mod Kit, mainly because I have one, but also because its one slick kit! But again like Tom said, do your research and dont hesitate to ask questions.
Where abouts in NC? NC is my home away from home....mainly because of the High Point furniture market... but also my favorite state! (I live in Canada).

Thigh ammo pack wasn't so bad to attach on the RT, only after you use 6 claps to hold it in place..and..maybe get a friend to help hold it while you get it into position and to provide moral support....;D
-
Apologies for taking this off topic.
-
Being taller I need to wear one, as everyone can see up under my helm, ruins the illusion for all the kids too.. contemplating painting the inside black also....

From one RT to another, Welcome!!

Hmm.. Silicone caulk i think might be a bit cleaner. I found the paste was a little cumbersome to work with and hard to make it look neat, and even after I tried to get all the air bubbles out like Mathias suggested it still didnt set right...
Still not sure on where I will go from here, I might just sand more and polish, and move on. But now I know its there....it will be hard to.
-
Also, the Doopys kits are easy to build, and quite fun actually!
-
So i picked up some white humbrol paints, every white they had, matte and silk...But they dont dry right. Should I just keep sanding and hope that darker ring will go away? Or should I just stay with it the way it is and try to move on?
....It really does bug me looking at it, and now Im obsessing about it, even though you cant notice from a few feet away....
Ideas pls?
-
Sooo....it worked pretty well, it was looking a lot better until the sanding part. It hardened and filled the gap quite nicely, but now I am wondering what to do about the discoloration. I am still in the process of sanding and polishing, but I wonder what to do about the different color. Do you guys have any ideas? Should I just paint it?
-
Update: The ABS paste worked wonders!...Although I recommend not using a perfectly good glass cup as a "vessel" to mix it in...
Thanks again all!
-
Now one quick question, is this where my thigh pack should go? I just want opinions, this seems like it may be a bit too low....
