SphereBase21 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hi. I had a question about ear bumps. I've received some good feedback, but looking for any extra info per the EIB. The ANH CRL indicates 3 or 4 bumps allowed. I just got my helmet kit (Trays), and looks great. It has 4 bumps, but might want to go Hero? The EIB requirements indicates 6 teeth, and the 2 screws on the side, but no further info on the bumps? Can I stick with the 4 bumps if I go Hero, and want to get EIB status? If not, then what is recommended to go from 4 to 3 (a type of paste, or are there ear kits available?). Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiHahn[TK] Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Some armor makers supply hero ear pieces, but that would be one of the easier mods I suppose if you can't get a pre-vacformed part. With a little putty and sanding, and then painting the detail, it should be achievable. I do believe the numer of ear bumps are mandatory for both stunt or hero EIB?

Daetrin[Admin] Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 The EIB certainly specifies the bumps. The older CRL did not, but this is getting tightened on the new 501st CRL as the ANH Stunt and ANH Hero CRL's are broken out. As Dennis noted, there are a few folks who make 3 bump ears, but they can be hard to come by sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I do believe the numer of ear bumps are mandatory for both stunt or hero EIB? Dennis is right, the correct number of ear bumps are mandatory for EIB. Correct number of teeth are also a requirement. There are a few threads of guys who have modded a Stunt to Hero so I would check those out. I believe Bondo works best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john danter Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I make ears with 3 and 4 bumps Need to touch up my 3 bump ones a little though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'll vouch for John - his work is what I'm sporting on my Hero lid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SphereBase21 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hi, all. Good information, and very helpful. I appreciate everyones reply. Sound like if I decide to do the Hero build, and want to get EIB, then it's 3 bumps. No problem, except for maybe my ability to work with putty, and bondo. However, would be cool when finished. I think I'll also follow up with John. Sounds like a excellent possible option, and a great recommendation from Daetrin. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
