ShadowTrooperJT Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hey there Troops!! So I ordered my AM armor, received it several months later, unboxed, and have been searching for the AM helmet build and haven't found one! Is FX the same? My bucket comes in three pieces and trying to figure best way to approach!! Any help or guidance, will be greatly appreciated!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment
ShadowTrooperJT Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Also found this link for a tutorial, would it apply to this armor build? http://www.tonybarnett.plus.com/suit.html Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Welcome. That's a shiny kit you have there. As far as the similarities between AM and FX, both are larger-scale armors, but FX is outdated. The latest AM kits are more accurate than the old, generally unavailable FX. Both have the three-piece helmet design whereas most kits have a two-piece helmet assembly. Tony's build instructions are helpful, but they also are a bit outdated. I recommend looking at build threads here. As for the helmet, I don't have experience personally with building the three piece I'm afraid. Link to comment
dwilly1986[501st] Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I had a three piece helmet for my TK AND it wasn't that hard.check on whitearmor.net there are plenty of white am armor build threads there. 1 Link to comment

ShadowTrooperJT Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yeah, take the weird things out of the eyes Seriously, it looks really good from the front. I know, the the AM bucket comes in 3 pieces so I have to leave those on while the E6000 dries. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment

ShadowTrooperJT Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Also I am trying to figure out if I should use a trim on the armor cuts, like the ANH or ESB white TKs what you think? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment

blackcat Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Thank you so much for posting! I've gotten my brown box but haven't really gotten too far into it because it's a little overwhelming. That pandatrooper link you posted is just what I needed. Thanks! 1 Link to comment

ShadowTrooperJT Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Making some progress at today's armor party!! Learned how to properly fit it to me, and how BIG this AM kit is and how many cuts I'll have to make! Join the Empire 1 Link to comment
