I tweaked my brow and trimmed my eyes a bit tonight, and thought I'd snap some shots. Six ft away with a slight zoom: I noticed a big difference today between my bucket and the AP/TE style helmets--one I hadn't noticed before. Dark Lord and I were actually trooping today at an event and we put our buckets next to ea other's and that's when i noticed it: the teeth. There are big differences in the teeth, namely the gaps. My helmet's teeth have much narrower and deeper gaps than the AP. We took a comparison shot with DL's camera...maybe he can post it here.... I also was trying to compare the eyes, brow etc. I got home and grabbed a utility knife! I also evened up my brow without taking the whole damn thing apart which was quite the effort

Looks very nice. Funny you know the first thing i noticed about this helmet was the teeth, but i think thats cos i was painting the teeth on my AP bucket last night. And the teeth on my TE2 are different again from my AP, they seem slightly larger. Over all i would say the Ap helmet is slightly smaller all round. Ok enough off topic, lets see those comparison photo's please..

lol thanks guys. overall, I love the helmet. One day though, I WILL own the "perfect helmet!" lol...gives me something to look fwd to =) Oh and Jez of course; feel free to use those pics if you like, no problem. I wish I had a helmet stand, but oh well... Oh and I'll try to get that comparison shot soon. I was mistaken--it was taken with a friend of ours' camera. Stay tuned.

thanks SWC! also notice how deep the battle spec eye sockets are. these measure 5/8" deep at the deepest point! anyone have a comparable shot of a TE?

Post subject:
awesome! thanks for the posts guys. It appears the TE's eyes are trimmed in the same arc as the brow line, and not a straight line connection like the Battle Spec....that is exactly what I wanted to see. Thanks AGCG! a quick photoshop job to show what the battle spec would look like trimmed the same way. hmmmmm decisions decisions.

In this way, I hope the lighting will be similar. The photo on the right has more shadows which emphasize the under-eyes, mouth and other features so that they stand out more prominently but the shadows throw off the comparison somewhat. Also the forward/vertical tilt of the helmets are slightly different. If you can more closely match the "nod" that would be awesome! Thanks in advance! Great shots!
