NJBoden Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Good morning everyone:) I just received my Altmann helmet yesterday and I must say it was one of the best experiences I've ever had! Spike's helmet is absolutely wonderful and I made an in depth look video to showcase this helmet. Excellent customer service, communication, and detail on the helmet. I cannot recommend him enough. Thanks a million Spike:) I hope this video can help some up-and-coming scouts (like myself) make a well informed choice:) PS If you like the video please subscribe Make sure you crank up the settings to 1080p60fps to see all the details. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJBoden Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Thanks Jim, and thank you for all your help with answering my questions BTW saw some of your videos sweet Flying V man! I'm playing an orange Schecter C-1 Classic myself. And a big thanks to Spike for the amazing helmet:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 nice review. the "white" of the helmet is auto paint so car polish can be used to maintain the finish, cheers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShrike Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 It is indeed an awesome helmet! I believe I have one of these new ones as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorian571 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Looks amazing! I may have to snag one as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJBoden Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 It's well worth it! Drop Spike a line for sure you will not regret it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Ranger Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 That makes the wait for mine even more exciting! Awesome video. Are you replacing anything on it like the 3m bolts or decals? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJBoden Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Thanks for watching it:) Not if I don't have to. I think it's ready to go out of the box and the decals seem alright to me. The fish hook decal and everything else looks great so unless there was something I missed I won't mess with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fish hook decal and everything else looks great so unless there was something I missed I won't mess with it Yeah, Steve said it was "out of the box." I've taken note that other scouts seem to like tweaking their Altmanns in order to better meet Lancer qualifications. Granted, I'm a little nervous to alter mine. I'm mostly just planning on buying TB decals to replace the back decals for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJBoden Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 I plan on starting out just getting basic clearance so I can get out there and troop then build up to Lancer as I go. Plus I don't think it's going to happen, but if I make a full build and do a troop then happen to not enjoy it as much as I thought then I wouldn't have dumped more money into a Lancer build when I can switch up and try another build. I WILL be a 501st member and the Scout is my favorite trooper, but if the scout is too uncomfortable I'll just build a new costume (I don't think this will happen however:) ) Good for you though I admire your enthusiasm go big or go home good luck on the Lancer build!

Forest Ranger Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Thanks! I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I guess Lancer is the only way to go for me, personally. Good luck with your build as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I have 6 costumes in the Legion (one is a Shadow Scout). I can tell you first hand the scout is the most comfortable and is a cool costume for trooping. Kids love the scout and you can walk, run, and sit down. It's nearly impossible to do that in a classic TK Stormtrooper! Go scout all the way! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJBoden Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 After a few days guys I am still beyond thrilled with this helmet. Spike totally gets my endorsement for sure! Do yourselves a favor and send him a PM. The helmet is more than worth the wait:) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
