darren1970 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Hi folks. Hope your all having a great Christmas. I'm on with my MB v1.5 helmet at the moment and a few questions crossed my mind as I was working on it. 1. The slot that goes across the snout. Does this need to be opened and mesh put behind it, or could it just be painted black? 2. In some builds I've seen a rectangular slot cut into the top of the visor, in others it seems to be missing. Is it required? If it is ( or even recommended ) are there any dimensions for it? Cheers guys. Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Hi Darren, I built up Borotrooper's lid and cut the snout out slightly, if you do this you will need to put a dark material over the back as the gap is very close to your nose when you wear it. Painting it instead would work fine also. As far as I understand the slot is on the movie troopers so needs to be on yours as well. It is a nice hark back to the concept pics of the Biker Scout , regarding dimensions of it , well it changes from picture to picture in ROTS , some longer than others, just take a few measurements and mark it out well, the centre of this lid is a few mm off to get the centre of the hole and not too close to the front edge of the visor and keeping far enough away from the face plate below. Take a screen grab and go with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fettski Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Well, I could not find any measurements and I am up to this point on my lid. Could someone please post measurements they have used, since there isn't a standard size, maybe a common size so we can try to achieve the same look. I roughly mocked up about a 1 inch wide by 3 inch long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren1970 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 See the post about Joe LOL....my typing is getting worse. That should have read "See the post above Joe" The dimensions that were given there are the ones I used on my lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimah Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I was just slightly over that measurement wise... for some reason my brain wasn't ticking over properly when it came to measuring out the slot, so I ended up with 2.8 inches * .75 of an inch. Minute difference, but I found it easier to measure when marking it out. *Shrug* Of course I cut well within the marked position then used a file to work it back towards the marked lines, to avoid any overtrimming.

trooper1389 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I remember fr tom's 1st build a while ago. I think it was 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 inches by 3/4 inches may hav changed since then ok I see this is a must so my question is, is it center left right and front and back on the visor part? or is it a specific dimension from the front of the visor? Please help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimah Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Mine is centred from left, right, front & back. So bang in the middle. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
