Actualy I do or did. Most of my collection is generic helmets . Mainly Prussian. But I do have some rarish ones. I have a Tolkenof (spell?)death head 1 year volunteer from the state of Brunswick. A few with a Waterloo bandau. This unit fought against Napoleon and won the right to were the bandau on there helmets. One of my favorites is a EM helmet of the Lieb Garde for the King of Baden. This one is kind or rare but took one of the biggest hits in the mad dash to get away from the storm. The helmet is a 1895 style and because of its age almost fell apart. The oldest one I have is a 1847 style Prussian. It is real tall with a huge front visor it is the one next to the Spanish morion. The morion is unfortunatly a repo. The only way to get one of those is to rob a museum.STUKA wrote:wow do you know the history behind each one? (Like what unit etc?)

Thanks Normandy. Before I got heavy into the spikes I had quite a few German steel helmets my self WW 1 and WW2. But I traded most of them for the spikes . A few of them I should have kept.The M-16 in the middle with the large ochre triangle is a neat helmet. This one has the shipping lable inside from the WW1 GI who shipped it home. The camo has the basic colors.Ochre, green and red broun. The cool thing about it is that it has little tiny dots that mimic the SS ambush pattern of WW2 ! This could be the Grandaddy of that paint scheme. I have been offerd a good deal of money for it but I will keep it. Just something else for my wife to put in the garage sell when I kick it.normandy wrote:Thats a very nice collection Pickelhaube! I've got a few WWII German helmets and one of those M-18 helments in the lower left of your pic. Man you've got a lot history there,very cool.

Very impressive Tambo! I love the flying wing you have. Is that the old Indiana Jones release?

Thanks Guys...Most all the Props were hand made by me. The Jango Fett is all Aircraft Alluminum hand cut and hammered by myself and a friend..the others were all built from scratch with hand made molds and Vac-formed...If anyone is interested in a kit please feel free to contact me and I'll hook you up. Most all of the weapons were made from found parts, real guns or made from scratch. The only 2 costumes I did not make are my Screen used Starship Troopers and my Necromonger Commander.
I don't know why I can't take a picture without one of my cats appearing in the photo
olifant..... The Raiders Flying Wing is from the Disney store at the Park a few years ago..I don't think they make it anymore I also have the Tank from the Last Crusade.

Great collection, thanks for sharing it. The cats are there to give a sense of scale, they know this and assume we do to.Tambo wrote:Thanks Guys...Most all the Props were hand made by me.
