Thanks!

Hi Pat,
Thanks for the heads up.These helmets would look great as a detail accessory on any German vehicle or left lying around loose on a diorama/vignette.I especially like the detail from the inside of the helmet..exciting stuff.
Come to think of it, if Dragon keep on producing those (IMHO) strange two piece Gen 2 heads, these might just be the thing to cover their ugly helmet straps up
cheers,
Shay

They do look good Shay. I'm trying to think what else they could produce using this technology apart from helmets. Any ideas?

I'd like to see them use it to make some British helmets.
Also it would be a blast if they did the US helmet, and did a separate pressing for the liner.

Interesting

Very interesting to see. It is nice to see the very high level of detail.

Thanks for the update

Very unique, even painted PE accessories included, really make them look the part.
However, I'm not sure how big the marked is for a product like this. As Shay says, they will look good when 'dressing' a vehicle or a scene, when the inside will be visible, however, I can't really see any major advantage of using these on a head over plastic/resin helmets as the inside detail will be lost. I suppose it depends on price, if they are reasonable they may well be worth a bit more, however, I have a feeling these puppies wont come too cheap!

A nice, well thought out product all the same.
