TK bondservnt[501st] Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 nice looking lid, all I can see is the tubestripes look a little close to the cheeks... other than that it's very well built! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTrooper Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Needs some frown mesh too! Actually that's personal preference, the originals didn't have any frown mesh. I have it in my trooping helmet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pappy Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Looks good - just need to get some covers on the belt attachements. It's still unfinished bro,it even doesn't have crotch strap this is the only opportunity i can wore the armor,just to show how it would looked like together nice looking lid, all I can see is the tubestripes look a little close to the cheeks... other than that it's very well built! thanks! yeah i agree on the stripes but the second and third is decals,so still can be fixed another time Needs some frown mesh too! Looking good... Oh,ATA kit doesn't include the mesh,and i prefer not to use it either,coz that's what's on screen(thanks for clearing it up Terrell!).....and it's not mine so the new owners must apply that themselves if they wanted to Looks very nice.

vecspeed12 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I have a couple of each in hips and abs. I love em. The abs is good for the people that don't want to deal with painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Peter[501st] Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 If you need more details about the kit email me at ataworks@yahoo.com, please no PMs I get enough with FISD and Legion stuff. Terrell, I have e-mailed you at ataworks@yahoo.com titled "WANTED-Replacement Parts for TD armor". Looking forward to hear from you soon. -Trooper Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith_241 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 So i take the new ABS lids are non-bumpy? If they are, has anyone buffed one down smooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTrooper[TK] Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Thanks Terrell I got the HIPS helmet I ordered today. Now I'll have to order an ABS one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Voorhees[501st] Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 So i take the new ABS lids are non-bumpy? If they are, has anyone buffed one down smooth? No, they are bumpy. I doubt you can "buff them down". Youd have to sand it but then you'll lose the shine of the ABS. You CAN sand it with 300-400 grit and then with a finer grit like 600 and then 1000 grit to get it as smooth as possible and then use the novus ABS polish, all 3 steps...but i found that even though it can get back alot of the shine, it will never be that super gloss look after sanding...at least not in my experience. Personally i just paint my ABS kits as well. I like the look of the painted suits/helmets and get the ABS for the durability factor more than anything. So you could go that route as well.

carlosspicyweiner Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hey would this armor fit someone 6 foot 2 inches and around 200 to 220 lbs ????? I have some guys in my garrison ordering armor and want to make sure it will fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 It can be made to fit, but would take work. I think the largest fellow who ever got TE derived armor to work was Joe Kurley who at the time was up in Alaska. He was just a little taller/heavier (IIRC 6'3" 240lbs). While it *can* work, at his height/weight RT or AM are more compatable with that body size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
