1/2 scale Ayrton Senna 1994 crash helmet when he drove for the Williams Renault team in sadly his last season. Helmet by Minichamps. This is fully padded inside with straps and opening visor.
On the head's left side was placed a "crested" and masked helmet wrapped in cloths.[52] With its panels of tinned bronze and assembled mounts, the decoration is directly comparable to that found on helmets from the Vendel and Valsgärde cemeteries of eastern Sweden.[53] The Sutton Hoo helmet differs from the Swedish examples in having an iron skull of a single vaulted shell and has a full face mask, a solid neck guard and deep cheekpieces. These features have suggested an English origin for the basic structure of the helmet; the deep cheekpieces have parallels in the Coppergate helmet, found in York.[54] Although outwardly very like the Swedish examples, the Sutton Hoo helmet is a product of better craftsmanship. Helmets are extremely rare finds. No other such figural plaques are known in England, apart from a fragment from a burial at Caenby, Lincolnshire.[55] The helmet rusted in the grave and was shattered into hundreds of tiny fragments when the chamber roof collapsed. Restoration of the helmet thus involved the meticulous identification, grouping and orientation of the surviving fragments before it could be reconstructed.[note 6]

The only reference picture I could find of these helmets. I decided to design the back of the helmet myself based on the Weta first age elven helmets since you can't see them.

Newborn, 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-2, 3-4 years, 5-10 years, teen/adult.
First pull! Sadly, the print layer didn't cure properly so I spend a couple hours trying to salvage the mold, but other than a little grime and a few little holes it's fine!
Used for all the shots in my "Evolve Bambo Electric Longboard" album.
Made from 21.5mm PVC pipe (2 m long).
Fulcrum is nuts and bolts attached through a hole in the top o the helmet.
The counterweight is heavy duty nuts and bolts which can be easily adjusted for balance.
The camera attaches via a long 1/4" bolt with a plastic block to allow landscape or portrait mounting.
There is a 3m long USB to mini USB cable passing through the pipe.
The trigger is an emergency USB battery charger (on-off to trigger)
The mini USB input on the Canon Powershot S100 can be configured in CHDK (firmware hack on SD card) to allow remote firing via USB.
Probably Syria or Egypt, Mamluk period, ~1500.
This is a rare example of a conical helmet that still has the peak, nasal, cheek pieces, and neck guard.
I picked this up, earlier today at a car booth sale.
Initially beliving it to be a late 50s - 60s european made M1 clone, my initial idea was to remove the cover, strip the paint and repaint the helmet in order to use it for WWII air-soft/re-enenactment.
Having examined the helmet closer and done some "homework", I belive this helmet may just be an an American made late WWII M1. If it is, I will refrain from messing with it.
The Danish army adopted the American M1 in 1948 (as a replacement for the heavy, cumbersome- and somewhat silly looking - M23 helmet). Initially the Danish army bought surplus M1 helmets from the US, many of these manufactured around 1944/-46. I am by far an expert, but there are a few details indicating that this may be a late WWII/early post-war US produced M1:
1. The helmet is made of non-magnetic steel (mangalloy) and all fittings are brass, this is definitly a military helmet, not a painted up CF (civil defence) helmet.
2. The liner has at some point been replaced with a newer plastic liner. The US made M1's had liners made from pressed paper reinforced with phenolic resin, these liners has a tendency to simply dissolve in the humid Danish weather, causing them to be replaced with more water resistant plastic liners. Most European made M1 clones are fitted with a bakelite liner.
3. The helmet has the correct olive green colour, instead of the latter, darker, more gray colour.
4. Where the paint is missing, a red-brown underpaint is visible, I have yet to find any refrences to the Eurpean clones having underpaint.
5. The swivel bales (typical for a late war helmet) are spot welded in place, not welded all along the edge as the European clones. The bales on early WWII M1's are usualy fixed.
6. The edges of the helmet are rolled up further than usually seen on European clone M1's
7. The helmet looks to be deeper than the later US made M1's (and the European clones). The ones used in the Korean War and the Vietnam war are shallower. This in a subjective comparison though - I will need to do a direct comparison or find some exact measurements online to be sure.
8. The helmet is not a front seam helmet (I can't see the back seam because of the cover). Most WWII M1's are front seam helmets. But, the production of back seam helmets started in 1944 - and it is known that the surplus M1's delivered to the Danish army in 1948 are late war production overstock.
I will have to remove the liner (can be done without damaging anything) and look for stamps, this is the only way to be sure. But, I will wait untill I can obtain the help of someone, who knows how to safely disassemble the helmet. I know a few people who has served while the M48 (or later incarnations, like the M50 and M59) was still in issue. The M48/50/59 was taken out of issue in 1992.

My impersonation of a Russian Army helmet using a normal motorcycle helmet and some old Russian camo material!
This make-over gives me a helmet that would pass for the Russian army 'SKAT' ballistic helmet. Though I still would like to remove the studs - which you can plainly see under the cover - and find a more modern camo cover.
