First-timer creating a new object with Blender.
This new plastic helmet was designed in response to the number of related request received for my LEGO IDEAS project "Metroid: Samus Aran's Gunship":

I KNOW that new molds are not allowed for IDEAS projects, so this is just an attempt to convince The LEGO Group to change that rule. Other purist alternatives are also explored in the project's updates.

NGC 2359 (also known as Thor's Helmet) is an emission nebula in the constellation Canis Major. The nebula is about 3,670 parsecs (11.96 thousand light-years) distant and is 30 light-years across. The central star is the Wolf-Rayet star WR7, an extremely hot star thought to be in a short pre-supernova stage of evolution.

Bicycle helmets are usually strong on function but weak on style. Terry, a member of our cycling club, has figured out a way to get both function AND style.
Today he modeled his new wide-brim add-on for his safety helmet. It will even offer good sun protection for the summer ahead.
From a tomb erected in 1903 by Lt Colonel Bingham and the Veterans’ Association to the memory of Charles Robert Partington, secretary of the Association and formerly sergeant of the Ist Royal Dragoons. A stone replica of Partington's helmet rested on top of a rough hewn stone, and against each side leaned a bronze carbine and sword. A plaque beneath the helmet explained that ‘ he charged with General Scarlett’s Brigade at Balaclava, twice cutting through the Russians, on October 25th, 1854 and was the same day severely wounded while covering the retirement from the Charge of the Light Brigade’. At the time, Charles was only 17 years old. When he died in 1902, he was buried with full military honours. The monument no longer exists in its original form. The bronze carbine and sword, and the plaque, were stolen long ago. Later the stone helmet was also taken, but rediscovered in 2003 and is now kept in storage. I was lucky to see it as I photographed the helmet for a new publication by the Trust. Sheffield General Cemtery, Sheffield, UK.
A brilliant momento that Amy bought for me of last weekends trip to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone! What this shot doesn't show is that we even managed to get Lewis to sign it on the top after Amy fought her way to the front of a crowd of thousands during Saturday nights F1 driver forum at the main stage in Silverstones F1 village!

Hello everybody!
If there is something you can not buy, you need to come up and do it. I finally finished (almost) motorcycle helmet for Norman. It remains to finish a few details and design. But in general, I now lacks only motorcycle in the BJD scale))))
привет, всем!
Если что-то нельзя купить, нужно придумать и сделать это. Я наконец-то закончила (почти) мотоциклетный шлем для Нормана. Осталось доделать несколько деталей и дизайн. Но в целом, теперь мне не хватает только мотоцикла в масштабе бжд))))
I finished my clone helmet template. This isn't one of my best applications, I rushed it to see how the pieces fit and I have to say I am pleased with it.
I suggest taking your time when applying these, especially the smaller ones, it is very easy to make mistakes and ruin a decal. I would also suggest some type of mounting fluid, it helps the decal slide and move easier without stretching or tearing.
Ok, now for the good part, the templates:

"Pardubice (Czech pronunciation: [ˈpardubɪtsɛ]; German: Pardubitz) is a city in the Czech Republic. It has about 92,000 inhabitants. It is the capital city of the Pardubice Region and lies on the Elbe River. The historic centre is well preserved and is protected as an urban monument reservation.
Pardubice is known as the centre of industry, which represents an oil refinery or an electronic equipment plant. The city is well known for its sport events, which include the Velká pardubická steeplechase in horse racing, the Golden Helmet of Pardubice in motorcycle racing, and the Czech Open international chess and games festival.
The name Pardubice is derived from the personal Polish name Porydęb. It was the name of the leader of the monks who came here from Poland. For the first time the name was recorded in the form of Pordobice.
Pardubice is located about 90 kilometres (56 mi) east of Prague. The city lies at the confluence of the Elbe and Chrudimka rivers. There are several fishponds, artificial lakes and oxbow lakes of the Elbe in the municipal territory.
Pardubice is located in the East Elbe Table, in the eastern part of the Polabí lowland. The highest point is the hill Stropinský vrch at 258 m (846 ft) above sea level, located on the southeastern municipal border.
The first written mention of Pardubice is from 1295, when Pope Boniface VIII took over the protection of the local Church of Saint Bartholomew with the order of Canons Regular of the Penitence of the Blessed Martyrs. In the first half of the 14th century, the settlement was acquired by a noble family, later known as Lords of Pardubice. In 1340, when Pardubice was inherited by Arnošt of Pardubice, it was first referred to as a city.
Bohemia (Latin Bohemia, German Böhmen, Polish Czechy) is a region in the west of the Czech Republic. Previously, as a kingdom, they were the center of the Czech Crown. The root of the word Czech probably corresponds to the meaning of man. The Latin equivalent of Bohemia, originally Boiohaemum (literally "land of Battles"), which over time also influenced the names in other languages, is derived from the Celtic tribe of the Boios, who lived in this area from the 4th to the 1st century BC Bohemia on it borders Germany in the west, Austria in the south, Moravia in the east and Poland in the north. Geographically, they are bounded from the north, west and south by a chain of mountains, the highest of which are the Krkonoše Mountains, in which the highest mountain of Bohemia, Sněžka, is also located. The most important rivers are the Elbe and the Vltava, with the fertile Polabean Plain extending around the Elbe. The capital and largest city of Bohemia is Prague, other important cities include, for example, Pilsen, Karlovy Vary, Kladno, Ústí nad Labem, Liberec, Hradec Králové, Pardubice and České Budějovice, Jihlava also lies partly on the historical territory of Bohemia." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
Now on Instagram.
While I was shooting photographs at the racetrack yesterday, one car stood out from the pack. It was a pink Bandolero with peace signs, hearts and "Love" stickered all over it. "Girls Rule" was painted across the rear spoiler. The driver had no fear. Bandolero cars reach speeds of 90MPH and as the tire marks on the side of the pink 03 car testify, they can get quite close together.
I spotted Erin in the pits. At the time, she was raising dust cutting donuts on her 4 wheeler. Her father and grandfather were dialing in the two Late Model cars they were racing that day. I asked them if I could speak to Erin. They were enthusiastic about it, even inviting me to take in some of the air conditioning inside the huge trailer/shop they traveled with from Houston Texas. Erin's grandfather called for her, and the dust settled as she shut down her four wheeler.
Erin had been knocked around quite a bit in her last race. She had been spun out twice, each time while attempting to pass the leader. Bandolero cars are kept very much the same. They use sealed engines and have little room in the regulations for tweaking the vehicles for more speed. They use an entire complement of racing safety gear from the helmet and firesuit to the HANS device. The idea is to keep the machines equal so young drivers develop skills.
I asked Erin about her last race. She told me the back turn was kind of choppy. I had noticed her shooting sparks from underneath her car as she hit the high spots of the slightly uneven pavement. Banoleros travel less than an inch off the pavement. Drivers are allowed to adjust their tire pressure to compensate for this, but there is an optimum tire pressure that varies from track to track, between different areas of the same track, and even with the ambient temperature.
I asked Erin about being the only girl on the track, if she thought it made her a target. She agreed that no boy wants to be passed by the girl in the pink peace car. Not surprisingly, Erin told me her hero is Danica Patrick. We talked some more, and while she never verbalized it, one could detect that Erin was bothered by being spun out twice and not winning her last race. During the day's qualifying runs, she had secured pole position and wasn't using it effectively. She ended our conversation by telling me to be sure and watch the featured race later in the evening, and then she was off to a compulsory driver's meeting.
Erin had lost her coveted pole position in the featured Bandolero race. As the cars entered the first turn after the green flag, Erin attempted to pass the leader from inside. He tried to knock her into the grass. As a result he was flung headfirst into the concrete barrier at 70-80 MPH. Erin was stopped with the remaining racers on the back turn as paramedics made certain the driver was uninjured. His car was hauled off the track by the wrecker, while the driver rode off in a golf cart waving to the cheers of the crowd. While the wreckage was being cleared Erin's father ran out on the track to check on Erin, his own firesuit tied around his waist. After making certain his daughter was OK, Erin's father pulled her rear bumper out and quickly resecured the bodywork on the back of her car as best he could. As he exited the track, he passed me and I asked him about Erin. "She's shaken, but she's OK," he smiled.
Once the track was cleared, the pace car got the drivers started again. I watched with trepidation as Erin's rear bodywork seemed to become more insecure with every lap. Finally, on her last lap Erin's rear bumper became unfastened, spraying sparks behind her as it contacted the concrete at speed. Erin finished the race, placing third with a message. Girls Rule.

The Corinthian type of helmet appeared at the end of the 8th c. BC and remained in use until the Classical period. This example represents an advanced stage in the development of the type and dates to the second half of the 6th c. BC. The development was mainly in the shape, which became progressively more spherical in order to fit better on the head, with larger nose-guard, cheek-pieces and neck-guard. Similar helmets were worn by the Greeks during the Persian Wars.
