Hi guys

Sometimes I wonder why I agree to some jobs...

I was asked to build a couple of helmets for a collector here, to replicate the real drivers helmets, but in 1/32 scale!!!!

How hard could it be... mmm. Well, a few hours later, and some very crossed up eyes.. This is the result.. Apologies for my el cheapo Digital Camera, am hoping to get good quality Pics from the guy who I made them for..

Question. Will I do this agin?
Answer. Umm, not sure, maybe in a few years time...

Cheers for now

Regards

Wonderful, Big Al.
You might save yourself having to do it again if you gave the rest of us some tips on how to do it ourselves. A good looking driver is essential, I reckon.
Thanks!

True, true, but Mrs Howmet doesn't half fancy that David Piper.

Brill - look forward to seeing the improved pictures.

Is it all paint or did you make your own decals.

I painted the 5 helmets on my MG Lolas - it was a terrible job but improves the look of the cars no end. I didn't have the facilities to make decals at the time but now I have I don't think I could make the images small enough with the PC/Printer combo I've got.

Very nice work, Al!

Howmet, I must say that I fancy Billie Piper myself!

Kind regards
