Rick Steen[501st] Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Hello all, have been trying (with no success) to source the red & black bubble lenses shown below - anybody have any ideas? Many thanks, Rick - TX26067 Link to comment
IcyTrooper[CMD-DWM] Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Hello! MonCal has some from the US on Etsy, but you'd have to get some black mesh film to get the desired marking on it: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1076632639/star-wars-inferno-squad-del-meeko?ls=r&ref=internal_similar_listing_bot-2&content_source=f3cba037f9bd4eb4ae571f7e7280454d7c2854a0%3A1076632639&logging_key=f3cba037f9bd4eb4ae571f7e7280454d7c2854a0%3A1076632639&listing_id=1076632639&listing_slug=star-wars-inferno-squad-del-meeko Opleprops has some in Germany on Etsy too, I think they come with wire for the lense? May have to message them: https://www.etsy.com/listing/522742574/tie-fighter-pilot-inferno-sqadron-helmet?ga_search_query=inferno&ref=shop_items_search_1&logging_key=f34e0aabb6fed7e262c476d2cac6596b316945c4%3A522742574&variation0=3241853501 @Wingman and @tipperaryred may be able to give some assistance as well 1 1 Link to comment
Vracasson[TX] Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I got them from Ople probs. You can get the lenses and the perforated grille there. I've ordered some again for my new helmet. I can show you some pictures. Nice Pic 😉 1 1 Link to comment
tipperaryred[CMD-DCA] Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Yes those Etsy sellers are the only ones that I'm aware of too. 1 1 Link to comment
Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 i got a set of bubbles from MonCal, and ive messaged Ople but there is no reply from them. Ive tried to order online, but the online order is not taking orders. Im kinda stuck because while I HAVE bubble lenses from MonCal, I cannot find the correct vinyl mesh with round holes. 1 Link to comment
Heavy[CMD-DCA] Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I am trying to get in touch with Marc who has the Ople shop, haven´t heard back from him yet - getting a bit worried I must say. 2 Link to comment
TonyJuiceBox[TX] Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I would say message Jason Hill on facebook (intergalactic props) as the helmet I got from his has bubble mesh lenses. 1 Link to comment
Heavy[CMD-DCA] Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I got a hold of Marc from Ople Props, he is ok, just really busy in the private life, but he asked me to tell you all to please mail him : mail@opleprops.com - and he will get back to you asap. 2 Link to comment
Wingman[TX] Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 My Lenses are from Jintalol Wang. But the ones from MonCal are also good to go. I tried the ones from Ople Props but wouldn't recommend them. Very blurry vision and the mesh is not as correct as it should be as the holes in the mesh are to big and not fine enough. 1 Link to comment
Wingman[TX] Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I used this dust protection foil for PC Fans. https://amzn.eu/d/2jNfByY It's a bit flexible so you can lay it nicely flat over the lenses from the inside. 1 Link to comment

Rick Steen[501st] Posted Monday at 10:16 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 10:16 AM Hello All, Firstly many thanks for all the messages on this topic, I bought some red lenses from Moncals and added my own mesh & it looked fantastic....from the outside. However after doing my first troop with them this weekend i soon discovered my vision was awful, I removed the mesh at lunch as I was getting a headache which improved things somewhat, but my vision was still terrible. I'm in two minds as to whether to go back to flat, juts so I can see what the h@ll is going on! I lost count of the amount of bumps, trips (not the crews fault) I had, and to me 1/2 the fun of this whole thing is to see the faces of the kids when they see you......nae chance!! Any advice & experience you have on this would again be gratefully received. Cheers Rick, Link to comment

I have thought about it a good amount of times lol 1 Link to comment
