TK9477 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) I may actually be doing a u-turn.......Here's some comparison shots...the first with my fxarmour/rt-mod lid; then my TM with padding (garden) and with out. There is a difference, but maybe not as much as I thought - I could just slighly buff out the shoulders & chest I may have the look I want - whadddaya think?

Griffin-X[TK] Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I think the helmet looks good, not too high, and fits your height. It's all proportionate. If you are like me...we tend to be our own worst critics. Do you play guitar too?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK9477 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 If I'm gonna build something I don't want it to be good - I want it to be awesome But, the closer I get to perfection, the more imperfections I see heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCTrooper[TK] Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Keep your TM helmet for sure. Since I am a taller trooper, removing the padding was necessary to cover my long neck You really look good overall. Those xtra long shins look nice. If you order another helmet, get a TM hero.

troopermaster Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Is the RT really any bigger than your TM? Looking at your photos I think your massive FX chest piece might be making the gap between your chest and helmet look smaller. Have you worn your RT helmet with TM armour to see if the gap is less or are you just going by how your TM looks on you and comparing it to your FX/RT combo?

TK9477 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!!! After taking advive from you all - mainly started by the UKG's veryown CO (credit where credit is due ) I jacked-up the tk-t-shirt and now THAT'S what I call a TK!!!! Great spot TM as usual - I noticed the chest plate on the fx riding high to. Now breathe out ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and let’s make that padding invisible -------- Edited January 23, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinSivertsen[501st] Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 That looks great. Now shorten the elastics so that the shoulderbells are almost touching the ribbed shoulderstraps, and it will look golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilboy[501st] Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 And a spot of black paint or fabric over the blue padding and you are golden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyInWhite[TK] Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 OMG I think your original looks fantastic!!! Don't obsess too much! At least you don't have girl hips to completely throw it all off whack. In your three side-by-side shots, I personally most definitely like the TM with no padding best, but honestly either way looks fine. Being tall is fine as long as you're not standing next to a short Vader! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
