Billhag Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Sorry I'm still grinning about this now.... This weekend I was part of the UKG's troops for the Adidas Star Wars products roll out and after covering off two stores in the centre of good ol' London Town we had a bit of a social. After a few drinks and a nice Chinese meal, our host showed me some of his helmet collection and whilst I was looking at one of his SDS he ask me to try it on and of course I obliged.As I was putting it on he said to me "No you don't have to twist SDS you can plonk them straght on". This made me laugh at the time (and I'm still grining now) because I'm so used to twisting my head when I put a trooper helmet on that I don't think about any more. So here's one for all you's screen derived helmet wearers,.....right or left? I'm right handed but when I put my helmet on I have the helmet facing forwards and I turn to my left and then twist my head straight on and I'm good to go What about you?, its a strange one I know but it just really got me thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper[TK] Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I turn my head to the right. Insert, then twist into position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I keep my head straight and put the helmet on with the face to the right. Once it's all the way down, I screw it into place. Nice photo - always enjoy looking at TM armor in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray1134[501st] Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Face forward, turn the helmet to the right, plunk down and twist. What's funny is I tried turning it the same distance to the left and I couldn't get it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajax407[TK] Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I think troopers in the northern hemisphere rotate one way, and those in the southern hemisphere rotate the other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
