Stuck between two...help?

[civitanom]

I'm stuck with money in hand between AM armor from trooper gear and RS props TIE completed.<br><br>

I've heard good stuff about RS, but that also they have customer service issues via RPF forum ?<br><br><br>

With AM I want to make sure it fits. Don't wanna be to big for it!..<br><br>

So any help or clarification is great!

What is your body type? It will help for everyone to give their advice.

Height, Weight, Build...

Also a TIE is mostly soft goods. Like a jumpsuit, it can be created to fit anyone's body. The only armored pieces on a TIE pilot (helmet, chest, back) are one size fits all. Full body armor (stormtrooper, etc.) on the other hand - even the ones marketed towards larger troopers (AM, RT) - definitely has an upper limit when it comes to size.

 

But like David said - what is your general body type, and what specifically are your measurements.

 

If you are looking into a TIE pilot costume, you need to check in with the Jolly Roger Squadron (JRS): http://www.jrs501st.com/

Either AM or RT Mod should work out fine in terms of stormtrooper armor. Like I said, TIE pilot costumes are mostly soft goods, so that shouldn't be a problem regardless of how big you are.

Yea should I go to JRS first to see what else they require?

[tkrestonva[TK]]

JRS is the home of all things TIE pilot. Most people here won't know the answers to your TIE pilot questions.

 

If you have specific questions on and/or need to do basic research on the TIE pilot costume, you will get better (and faster) information over at JRS.

i dont think you will have an issue if you go AM.

100% that will fit your frame.

Without having seen too many RS suits in person, I can say that the AM (or the RT as has been mentioned) will fit you with no issue at all.

I'd recommend taking a look at EIB and Centurion threads, where you can see the different armor makers on display with listed ht/wt for the troopers wearing it.  That way, you'll get a solid idea as to how well each of the kits fit and look on people of similar size.
