I had the same issues when doing mine. I also wanted the red mirror look. In the end I bought some red mirror tint of Ebay and tried it myself. (3 meters for $15) I could not apply it to the clear plastic that I had. (not without heaps of bubbles) So what I did was I cut out the size I wanted and t...

It's all about timing...a few months ago you could find those visors because they were used for football...which is done for most people at this point. Give it time and they'll be back. As for tinting...be VERY careful when it comes to doing something like that. There is nothing worse than dealing ...

Hey guys :) As you might recall, I bought a Don Post helmet a few months ago. It still needs to be repainted. It also doesn't have a visor. I didn't want to try to cut my own out of a welding shield or anything, so I've been trying to watch ebay. For some reason, before I bought the helmet, there we...

Oh I was thinking of doing the ROTS robe. I keep getting them mixed up. That's the one with the four slits, right? Are the red boots okay for that? or did they have to be black? I like the third link the best out of the boots. On the gloves elbow length is fine. As they are worn on the inside of the...

Cool, thanks for the help again :) The first and third options you have posted would probably be the best. I'd avoid the studded ones as the studs could be a pain to the rest of the costume. As for length, as long as they are over top of your ankles in the event your robes get lifted (I would say be...

Hi All, I have a question about boots this time. On the 501st website, they say the boots should cover your ankles. Does that mean they can go beyond your ankles? Like up to your knees? This may seem like a silly question, because part of that would be covered by the inner robe anyway, but I just wa...

Did you end up tinting the clear mask? Were they hard to cut? I've been using a face shield from either a motorcycle (they come in smoke and I've added a red transparent piece of plastic under it to make it a dark red) or a face shield from a work mask used for people who use grinders or other heavy...

Cool, tyvm for the info. Is it hard to cut? For the visor what a lot of us over here use is a replacement welders visor grade 3 and just cut the shape you want and then glue in place. They're not red but have the advantage of no eyes even under flash photos. You can get them from any saftey work wea...

Thanks. Yeah I don't know what happened with the visors on ebay. It seemed like the day I bought the helmet, all of the listings closed :( Thanks for the info on cutting out the visor, though. Thank you for posting the pics. In short, you will want to remove the entire section where the old visor us...
