speedracer9220 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Finally painted the Protec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crash2010 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Agent Hunk and Speed Racer, Your Protecs are amazing. I'm motivated to get my Protec up to snuff. Has anyone tried to mount ARC rails on a Protec? There is a ridge above the ear, but it's solid plastic and might be easy to dremel. Crash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Hunk Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Never tried the one rail has always been enough for me. That being said. Those are designed for thicker, ballistic helmets right? Might need to address the screw length. For my OPS Core harness I had to dremel new holes and shim the screws since they were meant for something a bit thicker than the PT Helmet.

Jon L Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 So I saw a really cool looking technique in the painted guns thread, and thought I would have a go on my helmet. I am pleased with the result, though I think when I get round to doing a gun in this manner there are a few things that I will do differently, but its all good experience and I am still happy with the helmet. More photos in the links but here are two to look at: http://s431.photobucket.com/albums/qq31/vladraken/?action=view¤t=P1020836.jpg http://s431.photobucket.com/albums/qq31/vladraken/?action=view¤t=P1020833.jpg http://s431.photobucket.com/albums/qq31/vladraken/?action=view¤t=P1020831.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedracer9220 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 @Agent Hunk-digging the war bungee! @Jon L- Looks good. Did you use a sponge to paint it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon L Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Yea similar to the one that Vilreen linked in the painted guns thread http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_19/321800_Sponge_Camo_Tutorial.html&page=1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

frogfish Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I like the ANVIS setup, real or dummy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tangman Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) Cheers Frogfish. The mount pictured above is a Resin mount. I drilled 2 holes in the back of it (where the top 2 of the 4 little screw holes on the real one are). Then I attached it to one of these http://www.ebairsoft.com/cover-mount-p-5023.html so when/if I choose to use the NV I can remove the resin mount quickly.and use the NV setup. I do have a genuine ANVIS mount as well but that's mounted on my Gentex MICH "classic" style. Pic from the front Edited June 18, 2012 by tangman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ctres94 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Any word on where to get a resin anvis mount? I'd love to get ahold of one if they can be had cheaper than a real one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tangman Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I got mine on Ebay from this seller http://myworld.ebay.com/ciras2010 came across him solely by chance, probably worth keeping an eye out in case any more come up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ctres94 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Did you have to add the wire and lemo connector yourself? I found a 3D model online and I was wondering if these could be machined instead. Is that practical? I would rather avoid buying a real one and making a cast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tangman Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 It was a complete mount, wire and connector included. The end of the wire which connects to the mount is only a heat shrink sleeve though which fits over the small wires from the mount.. I assume the lemo connector is genuine, cant tell the difference between it and the genuine one and it also fits my genuine LPBP connector. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Extraordinaire Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Got one of the Emerson Ops-Core FAST Carbon replicas, but the stock finish on the helmet left a little to be desired. So, I painted it to replicate the color of Ops-Core's DG2 Urban Tan. I think it came out pretty well. Before: After: -Ex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
