BikerScout007 Posted April 19, 2016 Author Posted April 19, 2016 Thanks for sharing bro! No prob! Hope to get a few more comparison pics up soon
Nexous Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 No prob! Hope to get a few more comparison pics up soon If we see each other again soon I'll bring my SC so we can see the jump from that 1
ShaunPug Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 I'm actually planning on shooting a big unboxing/review/comparison video when I get mine in. I have a buddy who will let me use his weathered RS helmet to compare with the clean as well. I personally have a CB bucket and know some guys with other maker's helmets. The only one I can't compare in the video is LW. Should be a pretty comprehensive video! 1
jkno Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Does anyone want to post their LW bucket? I'll take it if you do. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk Not yet. But there is already a line up for it. Though it is fan made, it is so beautiful and close tho the screen used, that I totally understand its appeal for both collectors and BSN members alike. PS. Not sure what is going on, but I don't receive email notifications of new posts in the threads I follow. And this is happening in the Armored Cavalry board too, seems it is the same type of forum - having no issues with other forums. 2
Retrofire Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Mickey, you realize that now you have to update your banner to reflect your RS right? You too Daniel when it comes in! 1
BikerScout007 Posted April 22, 2016 Author Posted April 22, 2016 Mickey, you realize that now you have to update your banner to reflect your RS right? You too Daniel when it comes in! Yup! I'll have to book a new photo shoot. Gonna need new trading card pics too! 1
BikerScout007 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Posted April 24, 2016 And here's what it looks like with the rest of my suit. Proportionally, I think it looks perfect. Just for reference, I am 6 feet tall. Sorry for being so disheveled, this was at the end of a long day of trooping: 5
Retrofire Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Yeah I'm going to have to dock you for the right forearm armor being too high That RS lid looks great! What's even better is trooping it. I hope you and the folks there had a great time! 1
BikerScout007 Posted May 5, 2016 Author Posted May 5, 2016 From another troop, but here you can see the difference between the RS Props and Altmann's
Grendel_Blitz Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 From another troop, but here you can see the difference between the RS Props and Altmann's BIG difference... NICE!!! Although I will never stop loving my Altmann lids. Still can't wait to get my RS - that I should have already received (Wave 2... hello???!!!) LOL \m/ 1
AShadyPanda Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 And here's what it looks like with the rest of my suit. Proportionally, I think it looks perfect. Just for reference, I am 6 feet tall. Sorry for being so disheveled, this was at the end of a long day of trooping: Looks great! I'm six feet tall ass well, did you have to do any trimming on your SC armor? It looks really well proportioned!
BikerScout007 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Posted May 7, 2016 SC armor is really great No not much trimming. Sanding down the rough edges so as not to get armor bites. Oh and I lopped about an inch and a half off the shoulder bells because SC bells are too long.
Nobody Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 That helmet looks great! I'm 6' and 215 lbs. your setup looks like the way I'll go. How can I get more info on the RS helmet?

ShaunPug Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 That would be so cool. Hope this is still happening. Definitely still on the to do list! As soon as I get my RS bucket (I'm in wave 3....so it'll be a little while yet) I'm going to get started on it. \m/ 2
rackey01 Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Nice looking helmet despite the flaws. I gave up waiting for mine a while ago, but maybe one day I'll get my hands on one. 1
Ronnieah Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 The RS helmet looks great, I like how it has more of an elongated look, it makes the face look slimmer and the eyes look meaner 1
MotorCityFool Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 The RS helmet looks great, I like how it has more of an elongated look, it makes the face look slimmer and the eyes look meaner Looking at the pictures I definitely agree. Great looking bucket. I'll have to put in an order whenever they start taking them again. And just try to forget that I ordered it for a year or two lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
BikerScout007 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Posted July 31, 2016 Well I couldn't deal with the hard hat liner anymore so I took it out and replaced it with these helmet pads: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P1G9U2W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My first test of the new setup was a 4 hours troop in very hot Los Angeles weather. It was great. Didn't bobble around and was so comfortable I forgot I was wearing the bucket. Could have gone another 3 hours. Of course I would have passed out from the heat long before that! Here's how I arrayed it inside of the RS Props lid: 4
Enthus Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Beautiful helmet, and it's nice to see one of these being trooped in! 1
BikerScout007 Posted August 10, 2016 Author Posted August 10, 2016 Just a view of the "gap". My original side view shots were taken with the helmet resting on a table, so it wasn't closed all the way. Here it is on the stand: And compare with the screen scout: 1
