Juan - Thanks for clearing that up - makes total sense. I appreciate you taking the time to look over the post too. Best, - Andy

Noel - Thanks! I had already discovered your Armor 101 page - awesome info. Also spent way too much time looking at the different kits... but I guess that's standard. Appreciate the advice, - Andy

Tim - I understand the run is closed, but please add me to the list for the next batch... Best, - Andy

It definitley helps - thanks for the advice. I'm glad to know that my research has not been in vain... My assumption was that screen accuracy and S.W.A.T. accuracy would be synonymous - am I off there? Do the TE2 and TM kits all come with ab plate details and sniper plates for TD? Thanks, - Andy

Brian - Thanks for the input. I know both of those kits are made in only very limited runs... Any preference, HIPS (TE2) or ABS ? - Andy

Jay - Thanks for the insight! Looking forward to spending time here in MEPD! Best, - Andy

Venerated TD veterans - I'm sure this has been asked many times - please excuse the redundant line of questioning. I'm looking at finally doing a TD build (most likely ANH "Move Along"), and I'd like your advice on which kit would be the best basis for my body type & build/experience level. Ideally I'd eventually like to take it all the way to S.W.A.T., so accuracy is crucial. I can dream, can't I? I'm 5'8", 160-ish. Ordinary medium build. I have experience building ABS, but I'm willing to give HIPS a try if it makes for a better TD in the end. I understand the reluctance to "endorse" one kit over another, but with the time I have available, I can't afford to waste any of it starting off with the wrong kit... I'd also be interested to know if you think one helmet kit would be better than another, regardless of which body armor I move towards. Thanks for your help, - Andy Dune Sea Garrison
