firebladejedi[TK] Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I think the eyes look great as they are, nice job Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Bumps are ugly IMO. Most ANH helmets have the eyes trimmed out pretty good. The bump as it's known is actually just flashing and is over exagerated on the AP. Trim it out big as Mark suggests and you'll have a nice looking helmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrooperTim Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) I figured I'd "remove" the bump from my helmet after reading this thread. Here's the before and after. I just re-dremel-ed it out more and sanded. Looks pretty good. You can still see some bump from different angles, but looks less exaggerated.

Darth Voorhees[501st] Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 looks good! Troopertim! I like the bump myself,but mine is also trimmed out alot so its more subtle. I also have an AP bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Wars Helmets Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) Great discussion guys. I have to say that I'm a "bump" kind of guy myself but agree with others that sometimes its over exaggerated. However I remember when MR first showed me their prototype HERO Stormtrooper Helmet and I told them straight away "thats got to go" As other have said its mostly a trimming issue so varied from helmets to helmets, although the angle the shots taken from affects it significantly... ---------- So IMHO it should be some bump - but just not too much!!!
