lostin480 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Does the helmet match the ABS Armor Master (AM) armor? Would the AP ANH Stunt helmet match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Not sure what you're asking in that first question, but pretty much any helmet will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I think you are referring to the color? It will be close but may not match exactly. Unless you order a crap ton of ABS sheets of the same number from the same manufacturer, the colors may vary slightly. AM might not be using the same ABS as AP. It shouldn't be that much of a concern because the many of the helmets in the film did not match perfectly with the armor either. It will hurt nothing if your varies a little as well.

BananoPower22[TK] Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) ATA is pretty much spot on. RT mod is slightly whiter that AM (AM is kinda yellowish) this is my ATA ESB helmet with my old AM chest under sunlight. You can see it's almost the same color. (I use an RT mod chest now and ATA backplate) ------------- Hope this helps Edited July 24, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 One cool thing is for the original screen TK (stunt ANH) the Armor and helmets were not color matched. The original armor was a milk white and the helmets were a khaki and painted white..... So if your lid does not match exactly will your armor, then you will be in the right step with the movies TKs..

pandatrooper[TK] Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 If you want to be really close in color, TMC is very close, RT comes second slightly bigger I believe) and ATA comes third as the plastic is slightly more cream colored. AM has a warm tone to it. AP is almost a cool white. Another great match thats cost effective - get an ATA styrene kit and paint it. Use warm beige underneath and top coat with 2 layers of Krylon white (I'll track down the exact color for you, I painted a bunch of styrene chips to try and match the color). I have 2 TKs in my squad that painted their lids and they both match well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobojuice Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Check out the films. The helmets didn't match the armor in them. You want screen accurate, it doesn't get any better. Go with whatever you like and whatever fits your budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
