Dark green lenses from Trooperbay

[Flykiller]

Hi there !

 

I would like to know if the dark green lenses (sold by TB)

are fine if I want to be validated Lancer, or at least 501st Member ?

 

Thank you

Trooperbay's lens material is basic welders mask material. I've used it on plenty of TK helmets and it's good. Mike from Trooperbay is cool about returns too.

Thanks for your answer.

I have been told only black lenses would be admited for pathfinder or lancer.

You have used it only on TK armors or scout too ?

It's a welders shield #5, which is what you want/need. I'm not sure who you're talking to but they are not correct. TB is good to go.

Question to add to this, is the lens from the SC helmet different than this? I might invest the $10+ shipped for the Trooperbay one if these are a little darker

Hi again on this topic !

 

I wander if any of you could tell me how he managed to bend and attach the trooperbay lenses to the helmet.

 

thank you !

[Flykiller]

They are green. That's sure. I don't know how to bend and attach them. That's sure too !

Try a heat gun on a low setting and just shape it

[spookymufu]

I put two oven safe bowls on a cookie sheet and bridged the TB lens between them and turned the oven on 300 degrees and waited until the lens drooped, then I took it out, put it in the helmet and pushed it into shape until it cooled

[Flykiller]

Thank you for your help. I was hesitating with heating it.

Once it will have the good shape, how did you attach it inside ? with glue ?

[spookymufu]

hot glue

Thanks Spooky !

Actually, the lenses should be a "darker material". Green isn't the colour you should be going for.

 

Ideally, either a shade 3 or shade 5 smoke lens is what you want.
