I'm getting started on my bucket and I've been trying to work out some color schemes...

Let me know what you all think!

[Squirrel]

The middle one caught my eye, personally. . .

[Kaden'Dha Runi]

I like number 2 and number 3 equally.  How come I can never be that imaganitive with color schemes?

[No'saj Huune]

I vote for #2.

[Salvo Mereel]

I like choice number 4:

 

But if not #4, then I'll go with #1.

[Teilyr Farsel]

I personally feel that #3 has the most eye-catching usability.  The yellow on the t-port is a bit bright, but fits well in the cheek recesses. 

Three for me.

[Brisk Arper Vok'chi]

three for me aswell....

and incase you hadnt noticed....on the main forum...if this is listed as newest thread it actially says:-

a yeallow and read -censored-...

hehe i giggled when i spoted that one

[Navik Orade]

As I look over the color schemes a little more, I find myself second-guessing my pattens...

Does it make sense to block all the colors out in this manner?

[Chucko]

You know my vote

[Navik Orade]

I sure do...

Thanks again for all the help!

[Tor'dola Magnus]

I like 3, but if you found a nice red polarized visor, 2 would be sick!

[Navik Orade]

Do different colored visors distort your vision a lot?

[No'saj Huune]

Not really, just depends on how long you wear your bucket for.  For instance I have a Dark Green #5 welding shield for my visor and if I wear it for 3+ hours, everyone looks purple when I take it off.  Also you can't see the color red when you have it on.  I've tried mirrored red and didn't have much of a problem with it.

I'm only planning my armor right now (just ordered plates, and about to order my assassin bucket) but I've work many different colored shooting glasses when my command goes to the range.  Yellow makes the world a brighter place, green does just what he said, red just makes the world look hotter....  if you really want to know an exaggerated reality of what any color would be, get a tranparent plastic of that color, and look through it... when designed for a lens or anything, the color won't be as intense.... unless of course you use something like a welding shield, that's cool, by the way, just WAY too dark for me.

anyone know if there is a premade visor for the new Assassin visor shape?
also where did you ge tthe mirrored red from? i have been looking all over and cant seem to find any

[Kaden'Dha Runi]

Sev,

I learned that "bikerchick", here on the Mercs has visors for the assassin helmet.  They are very cost effective, and I plan on getting one once I return from CV.  Send her a PM.

[Navik Orade]

That sounds REMARKABLY handy!

Sev, bikerchick on the Trading Station forum here does sell pre-cut, formed/shaped drk green (like the ones boba used in the movie) for all the M-DSB helmets.

nice now i just need to find some of that lovely red reflective tint for the out side ....granted i don't have me bucket yet but having the mats on hand helps to get off on the right foot

If you're tinting it further, you may just want to buy a plexiglass sheet, trace, cut, and tint yourself. Putting tint on the welding visor might make it hard to see through.

I'm glad I could give you an idea you liked!  I can't wait to get my assassin!

[Navik Orade]

Alright, we have an update!

After many careful hours and putting up with the AZ heat, I finally have the buy'ce cut out and ready for paint.

I managed to find some graffiti styple spray paint at Arizona Art Supply in exactly the colors I need.

I'll post pictures later on today for constructive criticism.

UPDATE:

[Tor'dola Magnus]

I like it so far.  Wish I wasn't in the middle of the pacific, maybe stuff would get to me faster and I could actually start my build!
