SamJ[501st] Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Could anyone tell me how the lense material was installed in the ANH stunt helmets? I read something mentioning draft excluder I'm either thinking of the wrong stuff or just not realising how to use it. Quote
Quebectrooper Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Good question. I also would like to know if they all used the same material on all helmets. Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 The lens is attached by using the same screws that hold the ears on. Quote
SW1 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 God that must hurt screws going through your ears Mark Quote
ObiHahn[TK] Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Here's a pic of my replica where you can see how it was done: -------------- I used the upper screw that holds the ear to the helmet, and on that I fixed the sheet of lens material as well as the chinstrap. Both are held in place with a nut. I hope you can make that out okay in my pic. On www.starwarshelmets.com you'll find some pics of original helmet interiors.

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 mark? some were glued? (Esb comes to mind with that black sticky glue) some were taped? anh right? some were on the cheek screws? some ESB, right? and then ROTJ lenses are glued in? right? Quote
ObiHahn[TK] Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Since this was posted in the ANH section, I thought the question was what the accurate way for ANH was...? ESB were glued with some black stuff, with the lens sheet cut shorter (it doesn't reach over the screws). I have not yet seen photos of lenses simply taped in for any movie, where can I find such reference pics? Bubble lenses like ANH hero and ROTJ were glued, yeah. Quote
