Stealth_Trooper_Pablo Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) I have fitted these lovely new mirror lenses to my FX bucket, to make my TX Stealthtrooper look more striking. Can't stress how good they look in person! The lenses were made by Mark (TK6540UKG) and arrived promptly, despite me missing the post oops! Below are a couple of snaps. I tried my best to install them using hot glue, but got a bit of overflow, so i might remove them, clean them up and re-try it! ------- Edited February 8, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Those look far better than the grey bubble lenses in your avatar. Excellent job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoopy trooper[TK] Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 thats way cool bro . i may have to do that with my extra bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth_Trooper_Pablo Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Yea, the leap in quality of looks was huge. Plus they are amazing at hiding the inside of your lid from the outside, yet the clarity of vision is amazing. Top notch find from Mark on these. If he doesnt mind me saying, he is likely to whip up some more if people are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null 13 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 what type of material did he use for the lenses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I highly recommend Scott's chrome tube stripes to accect those lens. They look absolutely sick together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synaptyx Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 "Sick?" The new "Bad" (as in good)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Sick is the term used when " good" just isnt good enuff to describe it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK6540UKG Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 what type of material did he use for the lenses? Trade secret.... Looks great Paul, glad you like them. And yes, Scott's chrome stripes would really set it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Null 13 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Can anyone point me towards this Scott chap selling chrome tube stripes? Cheers agreed but also looking for the original silver lenses as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX-8687[501st] Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 You should sell your awesome FX helmet and upgrade to an MR CE, paint it black and slap on those silver lenses! Makes a world of difference! Nice build man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth_Trooper_Pablo Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I am tempted to get the MRCE bucket, just need to source one, and secure a buyer for my black FX one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null 13 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I am tempted to get the MRCE bucket, just need to source one, and secure a buyer for my black FX one... How much are you gonna sell it for? and when are you looking to get rid of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth_Trooper_Pablo Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 If i can find a MRCE bucket within the next month, then thats when i'd be willing to sell the FX. Ideally, i'd like the sale of my FX to cover most of the MRCE purchase, if not all of it, so approx £60-70 (open to haggling/straight swap for a MRCE) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX-8687[501st] Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 That's what I did Paul, I sold my FX TX helmet for $100 and bought an MR CE for $120 worked out great! Since you're overseas I assume, doesn't Play.com sell them for a good price? Well if you need any help when you assemble and paint I can offer some assistance and pics! Good luck man!

TK6540UKG Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Play.com still have the MRCE in stock, but the price has gone back up to £70 ! Hopefully they might drop the price again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray1134[501st] Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Not sure if the shipping would make the deal worthwhile or not, but redfordfilms.com is still showing the MRCE available for $110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
