The Gentex model 411 Flight Helmet was in use from the 1960's to the 1990's. This configuration would be typical for a non-fighter application as it has the boom mic rather than an oxygen mask and the single clear vistor. The high-visibility markings would suggest this was used by Search-and-Rescue. On display at the Military Museums of Calgary.
A high-altitude flight helmet, complete with breath mask. Presumably for some long-snouted alien.
AKA why work on existing WIPs when you can start new ones? Actually, this is going to remain a WIP for the foreseeable future, because it about used up my free medium blue, which doesn't total to much even adding what's on existing MOCs. :|
Ideas for alternate colors for the rest of this?

The silver replica shows how the original would have looked. The original helmet is extremely rare, only one of four known complete helmets from Anglo-Saxon England.

The RPV4000 "Helmet Mobile" is a remotely piloted mobile assault gun, used by the crack Superfans infantry squad to open a Ditka-sized can of whoopass on their enemies. It features a 4-barrel "Jimbo Covert" rotary cannon and a pair of "Gary Fencik" mini-missile launchers.
The entire squad can be seen here.

WHAT STARTED THE “COPS EATING DOUGHNUTS” STEREOTYPE
Members of law enforcement stuffing their faces full of doughnuts is one of the most enduring stereotypes about the boys and girls in blue. In virtually every media representation of the police that isn’t deadly serious, the stereotype is played out in some way- Police Academy, The Simpsons, Family Guy, hell, in Wreck-it Ralph the police officers are literally sentient doughnuts. So where and when did this stereotype start?
As to the “when”, that isn’t clear. There are anecdotal accounts supporting the idea that officers commonly frequented doughnut shops as early as the 1950s, and probably further back for reasons we’ll get into shortly, but the general public doesn’t seem to have made the connection at this stage, at least not as far as surviving documented evidence suggests.
As to why doughnut shops were, and to a much lesser extent still are, so popular among the police, the answer is simple. Up until quite recently in history most food establishments, and also the majority of stores, closed fairly early in the evening and stayed closed all night.
There were basically two options for an officer working the graveyard shift who wanted a snack and a cup of fairly good quality coffee- diners and doughnut shops, both of which were regularly frequented by the police.

This stunning Anglo-Saxon helmet at the British Museum is a replica from the one found at the Mound 1, Sutton Hoo, Suffolk, England.The face-mask is the most remarkable feature of the helmet: it has eye-sockets, eyebrows and a nose, which has two small holes cut in it to allow the wearer to breathe freely. The bronze eyebrows are inlaid with silver wire and garnets. Each ends in a gilt-bronze boars-head - a symbol of strength and courage. Placed against the top of the nose, between the eyebrows, is a gilded dragon-head that lies nose to nose with a similar dragon-head placed at the end of the low crest that runs over the cap. The nose, eyebrows and dragon make up a great bird with outstretched wings that flies on the helmet rather like the bird of prey on the shield.
The original helmet was badly damaged when the burial chamber collapsed. By precisely locating the remaining fragments as if in a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, the helmet has been rebuilt.
These crazy urchins seem to dominate the exposed regions of the mid-intertidal on Kauai. I wasn't really even sure what I was looking at when I first saw them, which is just about my favorite experience outdoors.

In 1823 Charles Deane invented a helmet for firefighting to avoid smoke. Not a great success. His brother John trialed it as a diving helmet and the world of commercial diving has never looked back.
This is the original helmet, on loan from the Science Museum to the Diving Museum, and is available for the public to see starting Good Friday.
