[QUOTE="ScruffyLookingNH, post: 417957, member: 6563"] I hope you don't mind something non-vintage here. I'm justifying putting it here because it's unique and it's something a bit different. At Celebration Europe 3 there was a Biker Scout Helmet Project. Artists and designers were asked to come up with a different take on the Biker Scout Helmet. There were about 20 odd in total and some of them were simply astounding. They were all to be auctioned off for the fantastic Make-A-Wish charity after CE3. Some of the best went for over £2,000 on the auction (eBay hosted). And the a couple I really wanted did go for more than £1,000. I was determined to get one and I did. Not even in my top 10 choices, it has to be said, but pretty much the cheapest that sold :lol: Anyway, that aside, I absolutely love this thing. It was No. 8 in the series and called the "Burgonet Biker" (Burgonet being the a type of 16th Century helmet that this helmet is similar to in style). No photo will ever do the incredible detail of this thing justice. You can get centimetres from it and swear it's metal. It's GRP. It has cut marks, paint wear and rust. A brilliantly crafted hinged visor (in two parts), a padded interior and a chin strap. It was created by DB Props Shepperton whose work has been seen in Guardians of the Galaxy, Mission Impossible, Capt. America amongst others. And a damned fine job they did of it too.
