Megalomaniac Mando
Active Hunter
I had always thought the outline of the helmet looked familiar. Then it dawned on me. It looked alot like a GI steel pot cut down. A steelpot is the helmet that US soldiers wore from WWII through to I think Grenada. I got one today and cut it around the base. It still needs more trimming, but it is very close to the outline. If needed, a bit of hammershaping could really dress it up. After cutting, it resembled a British paratrooper helmet from WWII. Could this have been the base for the original?
