44 and just submitted my TX. I love cosplay.. will do it till it's no longer fun. -
I can BARELY get mine on even when screwing it on.. in armor with restricted movement it's virtually impossible.. I need options as well. member of the fathead brigade.

Most makers are not going to want to separate a kit. There are only 2 "large" armor makers out there really. AM2 and RT Mod

Both of these are pretty valid, Aaaron as thin as it is it would tear if I tried to anchor it at the ears though. and I've tried several types of tapes at the middle which all it wants to do is wrinkle the material as the eye's themselves have so much ridge they wont lay flat without crinkleing. This is by far the msot fustrating thing in this build so far.. something so simple is turning out to be so hard. Cutting for each eye may be my best bet.. that or finding some kind of flexible plastic sheild I can cut and use to stiffen it so I can use the ear anchor method. Looked at a bunch of shops cannot find anything like that though.

My film is like super thin mirrored window tint.. there is no way in hell you could do that with it.. It needs some stiffness..

Hey Tony, I've got this super thin lens from TB I cannot for the life of me see how it's supposed to get mounted.. Someone told me tape.. tried that it looks terrible.. Its so thin I cant use screws or rivets.. not sure what to do that and the fans are my last 2 pieces to finish my helmet.. ( at least until I can afford a Comm system like yours)

AM2 is HUGE.. in a good way.. no shimming for 80% of larger body types.. the MTK Breastplate literally fits inside of mine. perfect for us "less than perfect" body types.. I'm 5'11 and 215lbs and it fits me perfectly.

overstatement how? I know personally of at least 10 here locally all using AM2 sets and helmets all approved with ease... There are many here mainly because the seller is in the local Garrison.. And far more out there especially in the Northern California garrison where the other partner is based. Which part exactly is an "overstatement"

having a REAL hard time mounting my Trooperbay mirrored lens in my helmet as well as trying to get the Evilboy fans mounted. any advice would be great. The film is too darn thin..
