Royal Guard ROTJ Visor
- Thread starter Kroenen77

Very thin...1/2mm or max.1mm because you must bend it in the mask.
Dark smoke and red would be great...the Original ROTJ Guards had red tinted visors in the helmet.But I want to build dark smoke one behind the red one when possible.
And yes it must be transparent.
@Pedro:Thanks I will look about that.

You can get remnants of plexiglass in red from a sign shop (that deals with colored plexi for cheap), leave the film on, plexiglass can be bent by putting the piece of plexi in boiling water for under a min or use a heat gun (I like the water method as it heats the lens equally), use silicone tipped tongs (as to not damaged the softer lens) other wise you'll burn youself, don't use pliers as they'll mark up the lens, once pliable you can press it into the inside of the helmet where it will adopt the curve, keep pressed until cool, use light gloves for this, cotton garden gloves (they'll help protect your hands while the lens cools) will do the trick. Once you're happy with the shape, make your final trims (sanding block is handy for final touches), before you're ready to stick it place remove the outide film, remove the inner film at the end (always leave the lens protection film until the end).

I know this way with the boiling water,but you must be very fast and its very difficult to work in the RG helmet.So I would prefer the sheet.
Could always pick up one of T-Visor's offerings and trim it up. For the red, I just use dark red theatrical lighting gel. I still have most of a sheet, obviously. I can snip out a rectangle of it and drop it in the mail for you, if that's the direction you opt to go.
