Stroker Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I was looking at the pictures and noticed there seems to be black fabric of some kind thats on the inside of the helmet around the ear holes. I know a lot of TB's paint there inside of the bucket black it out to hide the inners beings of the helmet. So my question is it a fabric or black plastic cut and glued into the back of the helmet around the ear holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjsavage7 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I don't think anyone has nailed it down to what it is exactly but most seem to lean towards it being a fabric or possibly even just that part of the helmet painted black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Its about to drive me nuts. It's always the little details I let get to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centuri Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 you could have one side in fabric, and the other side plastic. that way, youre at least 1/2 right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Voorhees Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I always thought it was 2" wide black Gaffer tape..again, like everyone else's thoughts, not confirmed...but thats what i always thought it was. Seems like the quickes simplest way to do it with something they very likely had on hand. For my trooping helmets though, i just paint the inside all black. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use black, water based craft paint in a matte finish. No stink or fumes...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I use black sticky backed felt, cut into rectangles and it seems to do fine, easily cut and stuck into the lid. Of course I have no idea what they actually used . I did think it was the headband sweatband, cut and glued into place as the only original helmet I have looked into doesn't use a wrap over type sweat but a glued on pad. Just another unanswered question about our favorite costume! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdgr Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I also use black felt with a sticky back. Works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
