theisaac Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 What updates does a stock Altmanns helmet need for Lancer? Stickers? New bolts? Thanks, Isaac 1 Quote

theisaac Posted April 21, 2015 Author Posted April 21, 2015 Mickey - Here are the pics (should have thought about them when I asked. My bad. The snout needs to have that underplate I believe. The nose sticker looks odd the hinge bolts are slightly rounded (think of a puppet or stuffed animal plastic eye) I have some Trooperbay decals I can replace them with. Quote
BikerScout007 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 The snout looks okay to me. Do you mean it sits too far down in that groove? I have the DVH/Rottie snout so it was fine. Some of the decals are off but you got the Trooperbay ones so you should be okay. Yeah if the hinge bolts are rounded they need to be changed. My KS was held together with rivets so I just painted some 1 inch aluminum discs and glued them over the connection. I assume the inside is painted black and there is no mesh in the ears? Looks pretty good to me dude! Quote
theisaac Posted April 21, 2015 Author Posted April 21, 2015 Ya the inside is black and no mesh or cloth. I have some elevator bolts I could glue over the top of those bolts. I haven't tried to pull them off yet to see if its part of the bolt or if its just a decoration. Thanks for the reply. 1 Quote
khazara Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I have an Altmann and plan on going for Lancer at some point. I've already replaced my bolts with the 3M headband kit. The bolts were too short though so I had to do some engineering with some nuts and bolts to make it work. The ears are only painted on, so I believe these have to be opened up.

theisaac Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 I'd love to see the headband kit! My ears are cut out. Just use the painted area as a template. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Griffin-X Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I love that lid! Like Mickey, I'd replace the snout with the DVH/Rottie version. I have that one on all my scout helmets. And yes to the bolts and Trooperbay decals. Got a pic of the back? Quote
theisaac Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 I'll post a pic with the Trooperbay decals later but here is the back with my KS side by side. Altmanns on left KS on right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
stasz Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Dude. It's so nice! What are the Altmann's made out of? It's such a bright white. I'm surprised how soft the rear indent lines are though. I thought they were soft on the KS. Quote
theisaac Posted April 24, 2015 Author Posted April 24, 2015 It's ABS plastic Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
theisaac Posted April 24, 2015 Author Posted April 24, 2015 Thanks bro! I needed to find a bigger helmet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Griffin-X Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Thanks Isaac, you rock. If you need anything on this end, let me know. Quote
theisaac Posted April 26, 2015 Author Posted April 26, 2015 Better pic of back with Trooperbay decals. Also, the 1997 Lucasfilm Tag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Griffin-X Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Thanks for posting the pics man. Love the lid! Quote
khazara Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 I'm surprised how soft the rear indent lines are though. I thought they were soft on the KS. I was surprised by that when I got my Altmanns too. They're very soft. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
khazara Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Me? I love it. I've had a few small cracks appear on the edge of the squared-off brow/side piece framing the face, and had to replace the bolts for screen accuracy, but it's the perfect size for me and it's very light.
