Shovelheadjedi Posted April 1, 2010 Report Posted April 1, 2010 So i have been looking into getting some armor. I have spent many hours (mainly at work) on this forum looking into all the types of armor. But i cant seem to find an answer! Maybe im looking in the wrong places. I understand armor is not cheap(non of my hobbies are!) But im kind of leaning toward some ap armor. Im 6'5" an about 180lbs. Im skinmy as a rail!! Hahha but what would be a some good armor that would fit me without looking to small if the ap armor doesnt float my boat? And also resonably priced of course!! I dont care if i have to build an paint it myself. Heck... Thats the fun part!! Any info is greatly welcomed!! Quote
bluehickey Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 Hmmm.... being 6'5" means that you'll have a lot of black showing in between your ab and chest pieces as well as your back and kidney pieces (when there really shouldn't be any black showing in those spots). Might want to consider something that is larger like AM armor or RT-Mod. Quote
Wildabeast[TK] Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 The AM armour would be a good fit height wise....you could separate the cod and abs to add a couple inches...will have to do a lot of trimming though for your weight.... Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 AM, TM, RT are the three largest makes for height. We have some other taller troopers here - they should be able to advise as well. Quote
Shovelheadjedi Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Posted April 2, 2010 Wow! I seriously dont see why people being tall os an advantage. Only advantage i have ever seen is being able to reach things an not stand on you tiptoes! Hmmmm where are some good pictures of rtmod armor? Ive seen alot of threads that have great things to say about that armor... But no pictures really. Is it reasonably priced as well? Quote

tkrestonva[TK] Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) There are at least 2 RT-Mod build threads with photos, you just need to do a bit of work with the search feature. Ā Also, look here:------------ Edited February 1, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
Shovelheadjedi Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Posted April 2, 2010 I will have to check that out!!! I only have my iphone, so alot pf sites dont work! Thanks for the help!! I have to say... Everyone on this site is alot nicer an willing to share info with people. A few other hobby forums im active on, no one wants to help anyone out, an they just want to make you feel stupid!!! Maybe thats why this organization does so well??!! Ahhaha Quote
