Pale Rider Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 After about an hour of searching the forums I haven't found any information regarding the three vertical bars on the helmet forehead. I have an Altmann helmet and the three vertical bars are thin and black. I've seen multiple buckets with thicker grey bars in build threads here. From re-examining ROTJ scenes it looks like the thicker grey bars are correct but this does not seem to be specified anywhere in the CRL or on this site. Please help clarify this for me.

kayelbe Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 ___________ is right. If it will make you feel better, people are saying to "replace the decals" on the Altmann helmets. I just assumed that meant ALL of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent PM ______________________________________________ The movie does have some flaws actually. This scouts tank is way off centre. It seems like whatever was holding the top on has broken but I think it was made that way as it doesn't seem to 'flop' about and his tricep armour is sagging a lot.

bwattsup Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I'd replace all the decals with a set from trooperbay Jamie. The Altmann bucket decals are a very dark blue gray, compared to the lighter decals you're seeking. You want the forehead set to match the nose, snout backplate, rear vent decals, and the 3M bolts on the visor. Heres a before and after shot of my Altmann. You'll notice the color difference in the bottom picture. I changed my snout greeblie as well since I had one that was a little more detailed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandatrooper Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 In the Star Wars Costumes: Original trilogy book, there's multiple photos of the screen used helmet. The bars are grey, same color and tone as the other details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Rider Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks all! I really appreciate the responses. I received my decals from Trooper Bay a while back as the decal above the snout was definitely in need of replacing but the three forehead bars were the least obvious detail. I'll do a complete overhaul of the decals on the bucket. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
