My lens / mirror tint

[NegativeEleven]

I was at the army navy store last week and saw they had 3 more of the fighter pilot helmet lenses that I used on my scout bucket. I bought em all and threw mirror tint on one of em. I've got lots of mirror tint because I also make Cobra Viper helmets and you have to buy that stuff by the roll (3ft x 30ft). It's in the window section at Home Depot, labeled "Privacy Film." I figure the mirrored eyes will be great for recognizing myself in pictures at conventions where there's a lot of scouts. If you see a picture of a scout from DragonCon 2013 with an Ewok in his pouch, that's me. I just read that the Shadow Scout is supposed to have a mirrored lens, too.

 

 

 

If anyone wants one of the other 2, let me know. There's some surface scratches, that's why they're at the military surplus store, but they work great. It's thinner than the acrylic lens I got with the KS kit, but not quite as dark. I glued a piece of sintra in the nose and just used one screw to hold it in place (lens already has a hole there). It's super easy to replace. You can see I also used screws for the snout detail. I noticed some paint chipping last time I trooped. Loosen two screws to pop it off and repaint, glad that wasn't glued down.

 

If you just want some mirror tint, I'm happy to mail that out too. It should just fit in an envelope with a stamp. Trooperbay charges $5, but like I said, I've got a lot of it. I can put enough for 2 helmets in an envelope for $2.
