FIVE Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I know it's not accurate, and certainly not worthy of MEPD deployment, but has anyone thought of using green "mesh" for their lenses? Since the lenses come out so easily (at least on my buckets) I thought of doing this as an option for extremely hot mid-summer troops. Pros... They would never fog up... They would allow massive ventilation... They would still look good to the average Joe... Cons... They aren't canon... They aren't accurate... They aren't lenses... (haha) I know they use them on Vader and the Royal Guards at Disney. Anyway... just a thought. If anyone has tried it post pics and experience. Or, even if you haven't tried it, what do you think?

Aideon Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I've seen someone do mesh up close on a Royal Guard, and I don't think it looks very good at all. You can really easily tell it is mesh, and can see through it pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHenry Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 There has been some limited discussion about replacing the blue areas with screening/mess....plates with a buncha little holes like covers a radio speaker. Same pros & cons...but promising for hot humid troops as a backup helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk236 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Well I replaced the lens on my snowtrooper bucket with mesh for the Rose Parade gig and they worked great! They hide your eyes from a distance of 6ft or more, any closer you can tell there mesh and see right in. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
