Vallius09 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hello all, This is only my second post here since last year as I lost the funding to make my TK. My introduction is buried here somewhere, haha Anyway, I have saved up for a while now and will be looking to buy my first helmet to start with (or armor kit as a whole if it's more cost effective). So, here are my questions/concerns: 1. Which armor should I go with? I'm 5'11'', 260lbs and have a rather big noggin'. FX stood out as a "bigger" set of armor but I don't like that it isn't as screen accurate and the bucket is way too big. I've tried on an MR CE and it fit 'okay' but I'd like something with a bit more room for the mods I want to do (padding, speakers, new hovi's - the works). I'm looking for a bucket/armor that is as screen accurate as possible while still being big enough for me. Also, my shoulders are broad so I need something that will work with that, too. 2. There is either a shortage of helmets right now or I'm looking in the wrong places, haha! After you think you have a good idea of a bucket/set of armor that would fit me great - who would I contact for said bucket/set of armor? Or is it more of a "keep tabs on the For Sale boards and Ebay" kinda thing? I've been sitting here reading for days between work and sleep and you guys seem like armor wizards in every sense of the word. Any help you guys could provide me would be priceless! Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper[TK] Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 RT mod is considered a "bigger fit" armor, as everything has been scaled up for bigger guys. Check them out. http://www.rt-mod.com/main.html Try to avoid Ebay if possible, you can direct usually for cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallius09 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Oh, wow, this armor looks pretty good. I'm not a "huge" fan of the asymmetrical helm but that's such a minor quip for my first suit. How does one go about ordering one? Just use the contact him button, I'm assuming? Any Idea what the price point usually is? Thanks Panda! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper[TK] Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 You should contact him directly from the site. You can see size comparisons of his latest RT mod suit with the more screen accurate sized ones, very helpful for reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallius09 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Fantastic, I've sent him an e-mail! Thanks for your assistance, panda! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 The new FX - now called AM - is also big guy savvy. You can check out any AM thread for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Also there is new kit called TKX, just like AM armor... both are suited for the big and tall troopers. They both run about the same price. http://tk1336.com/tkx.html Watch out for the laser blast when you go to the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Correct me if I'm wrong - but is not the consensus that TKX is just AM via a reseller? IIRC this is how it played out on the Legion boards. If you want AM, just ping Deckard directly - no need to go through a middle man if you don't have to.

TK-7980 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Yeah, they are exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would I PM this Deckard fellow, by chance? The armor looks pretty nice and scaled, I'd love to get a price on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Here is a link to Deckard:http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showuser=1531 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 If you want to contact Deckard it's better to email him (as opposed to PM), since he's not on the boards all that often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
