Whiteley.m Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hello, I've recently bought but aren't yet in receipt of some TM 1.5mm armour. I already own a TM 2mm Stunt helmet and I was wondering if I could mix and match those without a problem? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiteley.m Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Good! I was worried there may be a noticeable difference between them which would mean I couldn't have one and the other together. The new armour does include a 1.5mm helmet but it's unpainted and I was hoping just to sell it to a friend instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 There is a noticeable difference between the two TM plastics he uses regarding color. Just so you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 To be fair, there is a noticeable difference in the colour of the original armour and helmets too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteley.m Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 That could be an issue. I suppose I'll have to put the two helmets and a piece of armour along side each other and make a decision based on that. Do you know how drastic the differences in shade is? Would it be quite noticeable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagedzi[TK] Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I use a painted (and chipped) helmet and unpainted armour--not unlike the originals. Looks good to me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebladejedi[TK] Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I have a set of m acrylic caped shoulder bells from 2010 maybe and the new 1.5 gloss armour from 2015 both TM and the colour match or difference is minute I will post comparison pictures if it will help. I think you can mix and match armour and helmets from any maker and it will not really be noticeable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteley.m Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Some comparison photos would be great thank you. I'd really prefer to use the 2mm helmet as TM painted it himself and did a better job with it then I could ever hope to do with my own build.

firebladejedi[TK] Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Ok I will get some pictures up and re reading my post I have 2mm ac abs and 1.5 g abs armour.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebladejedi[TK] Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Im not best known for my photography skills but here is a TM 2mm acrylic capped ABS shoulder bell from around 2009-2012 and the new TM 1.5mm gloss ABS bells from 2015, hardly any colour difference..

Whiteley.m Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Thanks for the pics. Yours don't look too different at all, hardly noticeable! I've got my new armour today and I would say the 2mm helmet is a fair bit 'whiter' and a fair bit glossier too overall. I'm going to give putting the 1.5mm helmet together my best shot including paints instead of decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
