Hardest part on mine was trimming the visor knob flanges down from four to two. I cut my fingers into a bloody mess for a detail most folks wouldn't even notice. Such is life! That's a neat stand! did you mod an existing stand with a sticker of some sort or did you make it from scratch?

As always a great light weathering. I would surely be happy to have such a helmet myself.

Anyone looking for the helmet parts set, contact Stephen210. Since photobucket started charging, most of my old picts are down. I can re-post my build picts soon. Nice to see some more DS helmet builds!

That's a neat stand! did you mod an existing stand with a sticker of some sort or did you make it from scratch? Sadly(?) this detail slipped my notice until the helmet was boxed up and ready for the post. Is it a full metal part? The stand is actually a toilet roll holder from a local shop which I added a rubber dome casting to the top off so the helmet sits securely on top, painted black and added a spare decal I had to the base which just happened to be the perfect size. stimpy wrote: Stunning work Nick!

The visor knob is just really hard plastic. It isn't a huge deal but maybe it can be unscrewed? I can check mine. I never would have thought that was a toilet roll holder. Really smart idea man!

Yep, I am the more-than-happy customer here. I am fully aware that it isn`t 100% screen accurate (the knob, the brown leather pieces (still pondering wheter to dye them olive), etc.. I am quite happy though that I have managed not to fall into the it-has-to-be-peeeerfect-trap with my props so far. I really could not be happier with Nick´s stellar work here.

I also saw this build on FB! I can't stop looking at the pictures of this helmet! I actually like the brown leather pieces and I did not notice the knob, even thou I'm aware of the "screen accurate" helmet. Fantastic work of art!

I also like that it's not 100% screen accurate, it's so nicely finished that SA doesn't really matter too much [imho]. That said, if SA is what you're going for, I've had good results with TRG Colour Dye for leather, canvas & vinyl.

The helmet absolutely looks fantastic, I didn't mean to detract by mentioning the knob.
