Any feedback or tips on buying a kit from these guys.
Cheers, Baytrooper.

Type: Armor Master (AM)
Country: USA
Contact: troopergear@gmail.com
are the two reliable, lowest cost, and best vendors of this armor. Both lite (helmetless) and full kits are available.
Kit: ABS, trimmed, fan sculpt. More accurate than FX and the armor is Expert Infantry ready out of the box. Availability: No known problems though there may be a waiting list.
Assembly: Parts are trimmed and designed to be easy to put together - along with RT is the easiest kit to make.
Comments: Armor is good accuracy though the chest and back tend to be larger and sharply defined. Very durable. Helmet is a bit larger than screen-derived, and the face is the least accurate acceptable (though the dome is fine).
Lite (headless) kits run $562 USD SHIPPED to Australia. Full kits are $712 SHIPPED.

Yep. Just have to pay postage to get it back to supplier, which is in QLD.

On mailing list for AM. Fingers crossed =)

I'm on the same list, so hopefully it's good stuff Smile

AM is good. You won’t be sorry.

**hopfot** · Monday 26-Nov-2012, 11:47 PM

AM is awesome. I love mine. Wink

the armour is good for larger folk, but it can be made slimmer. I would highly recommend getting the helmetless kit and getting a more accurate helmet from one of the other makers such as ATA, TM, RS or AP

Or hold out for the new version AM helmet which was just announced and looks pretty awesome!

Look halfway down this page and you will see that the maker of AM has announced a new version (NE - No Excuses) to replace AM, complete with a brand new bucket.
