I feel like I've searched the world for what I believe to be the screen accurate visor for the ESB Fett helmet.
It should be dark green like a welding face shield, and approx. .125" (3mm) thick.

Dark green (shade 3) face shields are common, but not in that thickness.
I've only found them in .040" (1mm) and .060" (1.5mm).

If you think about it, it sucks that even after all this time everyone (myself included) has spent on trying to get our helmets accurate, that no one anywhere, ever, has found the correct stuff.

I have .125 transparent green acrylic, but there is only one universal type made around the world and it is too much of an emerald green and is not correct. You cannot go the acrylic sheet route unless you want to have a custom color made and that costs thousands.
I am of the opinion that the original visor was from a welding face shield anyway.

So...

Has anyone ever found a shade 3 dark green face shield in .080" (2mm)? I think they make those.

I think that is the best we can ask for until the day (if ever) someone stumbles upon one that is .125" (3mm).
