Hi guys, after looking into starting to build my AP when it arrives, I would rather get the correct kit sorted out for the initial build.

 

Im after:-

 

1. The correct size neck rim and brow trim.

 

2. Correct stunt lenses made from acrylic which have been pre formed to fit a AP helmet correctly (as I have no heat gun to do this myself)

 

I have found a US seller, but he is unwilling to ship to the UK (lost postage in teh past). I thought it best to ask here. ;)

You can get all your rubber trim for your helmet right here in the UK :)

 

Neck trim

Product No;-SWR150------------

 

There's a few guys on here producing lenses that will probably meet your needs,

use the 'Search' or have a little trawl through the posts and you will definitely find them :)

 

Hope this helps mate.

Its only the neck trim you will need as AP uses the brow trim for both brow, and neck afaik unless it has changed recently :D

You can always use a hair dyer on those lenses or just use a small sheet of accetate like the originals...

 

When you get your armour i think an armour party would be in order :D

Armour party for sure! Fair amount of work to go before we can do any real dancing however.

 

I've done a fair bit of searching on here and I agree that the wife's hair dryer will do a treat, but what would you recommend as a troopable good non - flash, yet see-able alternative to the AP supplied stuff.

 

(Again thx for your help, what would I do without whitearmor.net)

To be honest i use the thin stuff, great for vision but in pics you can see my eyes but i dont worry about that... Try getting some welders visor but the ap lense are fairly thick also.

 

Its really personal choice i spose.

ive got a CRPROPS fiberglass recast that I did up in double thickness welders shield stuff, but it does seem 'flimsy' Id really be after a solid thing I can heat up then hot glue in place for regular troops. People seeing eyes through the lenses IMO would ruin a great childs photo etc.

You guys should definitely contact Runrriott (Nathan) about the lenses.

He offers good, thick, green replacement lens and he's an awesome guy!

send me a PM Simon with your address and i will pop some dark green face shield in the post for you free of charge for a fellow Brit.

I use the face shield as shown in the pic using the screws that hold the ears on as a fixing,no heat gun needed as it flexes to the shap of the lid.I pop the thin material in front for a super green effect.No glue needed for this method.

No one can see in even with a flash but you can see out very clear.

The two pictures are from my TM lid.

Simon, I vouch for Stuka's acetate lense material - I fitted mine yesterday, and it rocks. Cheers Stuka B)

If possible could you PM me the US seller as i am looking for both of those items. UK supplier would be my 2nd option but i am looking for someone nearby.

 

Thanks!

You're right, I got my knuckles rapped by Troopermaster and Riveting regarding that now out dated

information on another later post :(

SWR150 as changed and the new version is now much thicker.

 

There are a few other threds on the forum discussing accurate trim and possible suppliers

in the US and UK.
