The interesting Czech model company Skp have been advertising that they were going to produce a:

“quite new unique product, which nobody is producing untill now. It will be extremly precise accessory made by quite new technology.”
Well it looks like this is it, the WW2 German helmet minted in 0.25 mm brass. Perhaps this is a taste of things to come in brass accessories.

Included with the helmets will be an etched fret with feldgendarmerie gorgets and tiny stencils to produce Waffen SS decals

No price yet but I’ll update the story as soon as I get the price from Skp

For more info check out the Skp website

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.

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.
