shockwave326 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hey guys, I finally have enough money to buy my self a KS bucket. I wanted some advice before I go out and buy it. I know that KS had some problems with their helmets, but what else should I expect from them. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Forrest Patrol Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 KS ain't accurate, you will need to replace the bolts and snout. I have KS armour but I decided to just sell it to someone who isn't going for 501st clearance and buy the SC body armour or maybe Chef's full kit.

I know the bolts aren't accurate, but what's wrong with the snout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Forrest Patrol Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I'm not sure, but the bicep T-bits are wrong as well, the TD greeblies are non existent, the thigh boxes are oversized, all I know is that the snout does need to be replaced, KS got a lot wrong, so don't trust the snout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to get the SC armor kit. Just wanted to know if there are things that I need to know before buying a KS bucket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I have a KS bucket and SC armor. It's really not a big deal. This is what I did: 1) Got correct decals from Trooperbay 2) Replaced KS's sticker snout with a Darth Voorhees snout. 3) Removed the black mesh from the ears and painted the inside of the helmet black 4) Took off the furniture pad bolts, painted two aluminum discs grey and glued them over the rivets that hold the faceplate to the helmet. I detailed a lot of it here: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=12355 Anyway, KS is perfectly fine. I made Lancer with mine so you should be good with these few adjustments 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stasz Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The KS snout greeblie is incorrect, but like Mickey said, it's a very easy upgrade. It may depend on your GML, but I believe a KS can be approved as is, it's just a big enough difference and easy enough fix that just about everybody does it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was approved for basic right out of the box 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zarintyr Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I need to replace a few things on my bucket. Looking for an item to replace the grey circle piece on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stasz Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 how did you pay them was it via pay paypal, credit, or other. And is there another way to pay them besides paypal? If you don't have PP, they have a form you can use to pay with a credit card through PayPal. Though I highly recommend a PayPal account as you head down the road of building a costume. It makes things much easier. I didn't want mine tied to a credit card, so I just load money into it via a moneypack you can get almost anywhere. Like a pre paid credit card, but it loads into your PayPal instantly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
