Necron[TK] Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Being a welder by trade I've been trying to find just the right shade of green lens. Right now I have shade #5 right now in my RT-Mod helmet. So my question is what is the lightest shade before your eyes and flats of cheeks show with camera flashes and just normal sunlight? Quote
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 I would say that the Jackson 34-42 Dark Green Visor Product Code: 3002818, would be the lightest I would go.. I think it's a #3 shade. A tip; If you paint the inside of your lid a dark color like black, it will help make the lens look darker. With the inside of the helmet dark it helps to keep down the light from bouncing off the inside of the helmet, that could illuminate through the lens and make them easier to see through from the outside.

FIVE[501st] Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Another thing you can do is to use the "flimsy" screen accurate acetate material and simply double it up. It shows up really cool in photos then! That's what I do for my sandtrooper... but for my ESB I'm using the heavier stuff. Quote
TK6237[501st] Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) I doubled up mine as well; thin green on the outside, heavy welder's shield on the inside. Best of both worlds. ========= Edited December 16, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
john danter Posted February 19, 2011 Report Posted February 19, 2011 Spraying the inside of your lid black helps with people seeing your eyes Quote
