cmdrappo Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 My buddy has the old AM kit that I put together as a first time build. It worked out very well and was very easy to put together. I know the version 2 of the armour is much better than the first and is far more accurate than the first gen, of which I have few complaints.

Khazid[TK] Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Try to connect with your local garrison for armor parties. You will get to know them and they get to know you. Most importantly, they can help you with the build. The vets are always helping us newbs get shiny white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Hi Michael As Khazid has mentioned in the above post, deffinitly get in touch with your local Garrison/squad. Research is the key to this hobby, and yes this website can be overwhelming with details, but never fear we are here and most happy to help. Looks like you have started off in the right direction, and from all reports AM armor has improved from the older kit. I have personally helped assemble the previous version for a large trooper, both in height and width. (Security dude, 6'4" and broad) Secondly I would like to say, never underestimate your ability. We all started out like you, who honestly has armor building skills from the outset. It is not as hard as you may think, you just need a few key tools and learn as you go. The first cut is always the hardest, but the learning curve is good with a very basic rule to apply. "Measure twice, cut once", this will make seance soon enough. Nothing can replace the pride you will have when somebody out on a troop, or at a Con asks, "where did you buy your armor"? and you respond, I assembled it myself. Very satisfying experience i must say. Good luck on your journey, ask lots of questions and get along to a local armor party.
