The scoop on this eBay visor guy?

[squirk]

Can someone please clue me in on who this eBay visor guy is?

I'm pretty handy with a dremel, so is there any real advantage to buying from this fellow as opposed to getting the green visor from a welding supply company?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Squirk

I dunno, I've always just bought some smoked acrylic & made my own visors. That way I am guaranteed it will fit my helmet perfectly.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. But so many posts have mentioned this dude, I thougt there might be more to the story.

The dark green welders visor is more screen accurate with regards to a Boba helmet. Plus it has a slight curve at the bottom where as every smoked acrylic pre cut t-visor I've ever bought was straight across at the bottom.

Well, that settles that. Thanks for the info.

I'd go for the green face shield, its cheaper, more screen accurate, and you'll have fun cutting it, i guess.

i just noticed this thread...

on the note of accuracy, it depends on if you are doing RotJ or ESB. as i understand it, the RotJ helmet had a smoked visor, while the ESB one had the green.

finding a green welding shield is easy, and if you are going ESB that's the way to go.

if you don't have a plastic supplier around, finding the smoked stuff can be tough, which is why the ebay guy is a good resource. there's no place convenient to me that i can pick up a small piece of smoke acrylic, so it's easier to just buy the lens already cut.

i had mine made to measure for the helmet, so it fit great

I was under the same impression, thats why I went with smoked for the ROTJ.
