TK 5930 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hello everyone! I have recently gotten my fx armor,and was just added as a member of the 501st. im in the mid south garrison. TK5930. Well Now that Im in I want to start improving my armor. Starting with the lid. So far I was thinking of ordering a ANH stunt,but I cant find one that does not have green lenses. I was trying to find one with the flat dark lenses. I was also thinking of saving money and getting a T2 helmet,I have read those are the most accurate! Any advice on this or where I can find a ANH accurate helmet would be a big help! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFA Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 You can't go far wrong with TE2 , T's helmets rock ! Well worth saving up for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK 6918[501st] Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 It's not hard to replace lenses to whatever you want to use. Just cause a helmet comes with green lenses doesn't mean you can't replace or switch them for smoke colored ones. I just switched my FX helmet to an accurate ANH one. I too miss the smoke colored lenses because green distorts the colors that I'm seeing. But for accuracy's sake I will stick with green.

Really.I have talked to some people in my garrison and I got the impression that the green ones where not used as much just because people did not like them.I got the impression people kind of laugh at them! Hearing you explain it makes me fell better about ordering one with green! I kinda like it myself! Im new at this so thanks for your help.

TK 6918[501st] Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 For ANH stunt, the accurate color is green, but most people in the legion use an FX helmet which comes with smoked grey lenses thats why there might be a bit of confusion. Once you put the helmet on with green lenses, it should look black from the outside so the public wont even know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK6294 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I suggest a Kev's ANH 2.0 or 2.5. You can view them at www.imperialsurplus.com. You can also contact kev there. He make a very solid helmet that looks awesome. I just repaired a TE2 for a trooper that had a crack because the walls were so thin. On the other hand, i took a hit by a door wearing my kev's ANH 2.5 and it hit me so hard that it cut my head inside my helmet. The helmet had a nasty scratch but no dents or cracks. The TE2 I just repaired would have split in two from that hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwdesigns[TK] Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Thanks Jim for the comparison. I only have my ANH v2.5 available right now. The V2.0 is no longer available. Thanks Kevin W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
