AMGF Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hi, I'm new here. I was gonna buy a AA helmet but I started searching and the more I read, the less I was convinced the AA was the way to go. I contacted RS and I'm pretty much going with them. However... However, one thing bugs me, it appears the RS frown is not cover from the inside with black mesh. I don't really like the look of seeing through the frown. But one thing that's cool, if I want to built a whole kit later, RS has a 501st ready kit (or so I think from what I've read). The AA, well I thought this was the real deal (I read from the court case vs Lucas) and after more research, it seems it is not exactly the best option (or most accurate as AA seems to make believe). But I wanted a Hero, RS doesn't have one. What should I do? -Go with AA Hero anyway? -Go with RS Stunt and cover the frown myself later? -Some other option I don't know about? I read a lot of stuff, but it's not always easy to sort through the tecnical differences between the different options. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejango[TK] Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 In the long run its your money and will ultimately be your decision, but from what i can tell RS does have a bit of a standing history with people here, where as AA isn't the most popular, so i'd go with RS simply because i see the name more often and people having their helmet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warkicker Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I have a TM helmet in the hero version and am building another. They are absolutely superb and I highly recommend getting a TM (as well as his armor). Just PM him if you are interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me if the TM comes with a black mesh to cover the holes in the frown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very easy and cheap mod to put mesh inside the helmet I certainly wouldn't let that aspect affect my decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warkicker Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Mark's right. There's plenty of resources from which to get mesh to put behind the frown. Got mine from TrooperBay.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolo[TK] Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Or you can get it at your local Home-Depot. Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMGF Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Thanks everyone! I contacted TM and RS and waiting on an answer from CFO. The final decision might be harder to make than I thought. However, TM has a Hero model so that might be it... I'll let you guys know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMGF Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I just realized that AP is local to me. So I'm gonna go with AP. If anyone has any warnings or comments, now would pretty much be the time to let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMGF Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Order passed on an AP stunt helmet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKZombie[TK] Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 The mess in the helmet is not screen accurate. So RS and TM don't provide it, nor does AP. You can add it if you want easy enough or just wear a belacava. <br><br> I have a AP stunt helmet and I have a full TM Hero TK helmet and armour. The AP is good the TM is great. <br><br> If you want a Hero helmet TM is one of the few makers of the Hero. There's 1 or 2 others in the US. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
