BigSlimJimmy Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Has anyone else noticed the sortof "bump" in the right eye of the AP Helmet? I am using reference photos from other websites, but its kinda bugging me, is this bump screen accurate? If not, can it be fixed? I really like the AP kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 the eye bump is screen accurate, that's why it's there! you can minimise the bump by simply cutting out the eyes more than most people do. keep in mind you want a curved cut to match the contour of your lenses.

BigSlimJimmy Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Thanks! The screen accurate look is what I'm going for. AP is my armor now! Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolderMaster Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Just for reference... Here is a pic of an AP helmet with the bump "removed". ---------- Edited January 24, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) very nice lid! but I can still see the curve! Edited February 15, 2012 by TK Bondservnt 2392 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Hilarious Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 You could completely eliminate the bump with a sealing iron. As has been said, leave it there if you want a screen accurate Stunt lid. If you're going Hero, ditch the bump (and a few other things). You've said you want to do an ANH kit- figuring out whether you want to do Stunt or Hero is your next choice to make... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlimJimmy Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Definatley doing Stunt. It is most recognizable (to me, at least). And I like the upward brow of the stunt. If the bump is accurate, then I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlimJimmy Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Also with painting, do they sell stencils for the tube stripes, I may be a good artist but I cant paint that accurately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
