probably my favorite costume of the whole comic con, apart from any scantily dressed hotties of course, but i just loved the idea that someone would dress up as Dark Helmet from SpaceBalls considering I've seen a ton of Darth Vadar costumes.
one of my fav scenes from the movie:
[Playing with his dolls]
Dark Helmet: [In Dark Helmet voice] And now Princess Vespa, I have you in my clutches, to have my wicked way with you, the way I want to.
[In Vespa voice]
Dark Helmet: No, no, go away, I hate you! And yet... I find you strangely attractive.
[In D.H. voice]
Dark Helmet: Of course you do! Druish princesses are often attracted to money and power, and I have both, and you *know* it!
[In V. voice]
Dark Helmet: No, no, leave me alone!
[In D.H. voice]
Dark Helmet: No, kiss me!
[V]
Dark Helmet: No! Stop!
[D.H]
Dark Helmet: Yes, yes!
[V]
Dark Helmet: Oh, oh, oh! Ohhhh, your helmet is so big!
another great exchange:
Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now.
Dark Helmet: What happened to then?
Colonel Sandurz: We passed then.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now, now.
Dark Helmet: Go back to then!
Colonel Sandurz: When?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: Now?
Dark Helmet: Now!
Colonel Sandurz: I can't.
Dark Helmet: Why?
Colonel Sandurz: We missed it.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now.
Dark Helmet: When will then be now?
Colonel Sandurz: Soon.
Dark Helmet: How soon?
Video Operator: Sir!
[Dark Helmet has becomed far too confused and everyone now ignores him even though he's center screen]
Dark Helmet: What?
Video Operator: We've identified their location.
Dark Helmet: Where?
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!
This is a four shot focus stack of a really cool 1/2 scale replica of Lewis Hamiltons race helmet.

A monument to celebrate the battle of Lewes in 1264 between the King Henry III and Simon de Montford outside Lewes Priory. The King lost and was forced to cede a lot of his power. The huge Abbey was thoroughly destroyed later by Henry VIII.
As good as it looks, it smells better and if you wait around for a while this flower will be a peach!
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))))
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.

Chain mail helmet on display at the Tower of London
From Wikipedia:
Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, more commonly known as the Tower of London, is a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London, England. It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, separated from the eastern edge of the square mile of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill. It was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078, and was a resented symbol of oppression, inflicted upon London by the new ruling elite. The castle was used as a prison since at least 1100, although that was not its primary purpose. A grand palace early in its history, it served as a royal residence. As a whole, the Tower is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. There were several phases of expansion, mainly under Kings Richard the Lionheart, Henry III, and Edward I in the 12th and 13th centuries. The general layout established by the late 13th century remains despite later activity on the site.

Iron helmet with copper alloy fittings, consisting of many individual fragments now built into a reconstruction made using jute textile and plaster.
The reconstruction comprises a domed cap, cheek-pieces, mask and neck-guard, covered with panels of tinned copper alloy sheeting. The panels are stamped with various repousse designs including animal interlace in Salin's Style II, and two different warrior scenes known as "The Dancing Warriors" and "The Fallen Warrior". Three different dies were used for the figural scenes and two for the interlace.
An iron crest inlaid with silver wire runs over the cap of the helmet, terminating at the front and back with animal heads. The animal head at the front has garnet cabochon eyes, now missing but painted in on the animal head at the back. The front animal head meets another animal head extending from the nose of the helmet, cast in copper alloy and gilded. Flanking the nose are a pair of gilt copper alloy eyebrows, inlaid with silver wire and terminating in boar's heads. Each eyebrow is lined along the bottom edge with a row of cloisonné garnets formed of miniature square cells, 23 on the proper right brow and 25 on the proper left. Only the garnets on the proper right brow have backing foils. The nose is cast together with a mouth-piece resembling a moustache and lower lip, made from copper alloy with gilding and partial tinning, enhanced with engraved detail and silver inlay.
On the inside of the iron fragments, black staining indicates the original presence of a leather lining.
In 2025, it was announced that a metal-detectorist on the island of Tåsinge, Funen, Denmark had found a die bearing a similar motif to the "Fallen Warrior" panel on the Sutton Hoo helmet. Similarities in particular were drawn in small details of the figures' clothing, hairstyles, weaponry, anatomy and the horse's harness and equipment. Differences are also apparent, such as the fallen figure carrying a shield, not seen on the Sutton Hoo image. The new discovery is perhaps likelier to reflect a wider proliferation of this popular motif among the elites of Early Medieval Europe, rather than a strong indication that the Sutton Hoo helmet was made in Denmark.
Anglo-Saxon, made in England or Sweden, early 600s CE. Discovered in Sutton Hoo, East Anglia.
