Well the guys over in the UKG have been nothing but helpful, just wish id known about this 3 part not being allowed thing as i like my AM lid haha, oh well, live and learn. Gives me an excuse to add another helmet to the collection i suppose, any recommendations on a helmet that will match the colour of the AM suit? Personally i think the ABS has a deep creamy look to it so hopefully something along those lines

Thanks a lot just don't understand why it matters how many pieces the kit consisted off before it was put together, i thought it's supposed to be what the end product looks like for approval

Well, the UKG have only recently appointed an armourer for Shadow Troopers, I presume they don't get many applications for them and I'm guessing the TK crl's are now being applied to the Shadow. Obviously I'm a bit dissapointed as I thought I'd done my research right and made sure I got an armour set that was approvable/reputable. Not looking to make a fuss though so I'll probably just get a new helmet when I have some funds spare. Hopefully this info will help any future UK based Shadows

I've been told it's not approvable for the UKG because it's a 3 piece helmet. The armourer was very sympathetic about it but unfortunately that means I won't be able to go for 501st clearance with my Shadow. It's irritated me a bit though, two piece helmets I can understand for regular TKs as that's how the screen used helmets where made but Shadow Trooper helmets are expanded universe and there's no 'screen accurate' definition of how many pieces the helmet kit should consist off

Hey guys, can i ask if the AM trooper helmet is actually acceptable for clearance? Ive been informed that this isnt the case with it being a three part helmet rather than a two part. (That would be the UKG requirements anyway) If not, any recommendations for a replacement helmet that will match with the AM ABS armour Thanks in advance

Again, many thanks for the advice, ill take another set as these where a little rushed. Might as well do it all properly rather than hope for the best

This is the helmet from the front, doesnt look as weird shape wise now so must of been the lighting/camera haha. This was taken before the mic tips where painted black Will the current picturse be an issue, if everything looks ok and im a go for clearance, or should i take another set to rectify the shape distortion

Many thanks, i think the look from the front with the helmet has something to do with light distortion or something haha because it normally looks better than that, ill take a couple more pics. Ive left a little bit of room when it came to fitting the armour to me as i hope to gain a bit of weight in the near future, if my annoyingly fast metabolism allows it that is, and still wanted to be able to fit inside my armour

Its the Armour Master bucket

Hey guys, ive been posting on the UK boards and within my local group but ive also been advised to keep posting within the Spec Ops boards as well haha. Last time i posted it was pointed out i needed to paint the buttons, screws and hovi mic tips black. This has now been done so any other critiques please feel free to let me know
