In requirements for the bucket it reads:

"- Silver, battleship grey (exact match of helmet stickers), or black helmet frown. Cheek tube stripes may only be black or very dark navy blue. Crown indents may be battleship grey or black. Earcap vertical stripes may be black, grey, or dark navy blue"

What if you didnt go with any of the helmet details? Ive seen some all black helmets here so I know there out there. From the requirements it seems you would be locked into having the tube stripes no matter what combo of frown/earcap you had. Is black referring to the gloss black of the ABS or flat black, semi-flat black? Are the crown indents and cheek tears following the standard TK decals black border/vertical black lines? 


The only other thing I was wondering about was the "thermal detenator". Tube stripes or no tube stripes and for the body glossy ABS, flat black,semi flat black? I dont know if that was ever decided. I know there are preferences but what is the standard?

Black is black, as far as the helmet indents are concerned. All helmets "should" have cheek tube stripes (only a few cannon TKs and TDs didn't have them), but it's widely accepted that these were a mistake and that they are there for a purpose. As far as the lines around the crown indents/cheek indents, if they're black or dark navy blue, no need for 'em, IMHO. They are there to stand out the contrast. But if you have grey indents, they should be present, just like TKs & TDs.

The thermal detonator (if worn, but not of carrying a BFG), may be all black, black with grey stripes, or black with silver stripes. The black should be glossy, just like the armor. Matte black is not currently approved as an armor color.

Hope that helps. If folks agree, we'll add it to the standard.
