AP Helmet

[BigSlimJimmy]

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

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.

Thanks! The screen accurate look is what I'm going for. AP is my armor now! Haha

Just for reference...

 

Here is a pic of an AP helmet with the bump "removed".

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...

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!

Also with painting, do they sell stencils for the tube stripes, I may be a good artist but I cant paint that accurately

trooperbay sells all sorts of decals
