Here it is!

Took him a mere two months to make! Much better than the V1 I own. I can't wait til he sends this out!

Very nice, congratulations.

Can you post some more photo's, some with the helmet off, and perhaps some side shots with dome on and off.

Thanks in advance.

Let me chime in too. It's very nice looking indeed!

Also, when photographing it, please set your camera to allow large images. Stand back a minimum of 6 feet and photograph at the edge of a table and at eye-level. The back of a chair can serve as a makeshift tripod to keep the camera still, if you need. And use natural light if possible. Thanks in advance too!

Regardless of lids, as long as it makes you happy! Merry Christmas!

It doesn't look as over-shiny in the paint job as some of his earlier works - could be mistaken - which makes the look more right on this one, imo. Nice helmet! :thumbsup

Mac,

I am rubbish at photography but I am getting a new camera for Christmas and from the 25th onwards your words are GOLD

I also agree the pics on the Den are of a very good standard for this I blame Mac :lol

Oh and Joe that is a very nice looking lid

Cheers Chris

I usually do, but I didn't take these pics......JB did. :lol

I'm scheduled to get the helmet on the 18th of December from fed ex.
As soon as I do, I'll be taking pics of it on my mannequin. Thanks for all the kind comments guys!

Well, I got my V2 in a couple days ago. A true work of art! The paint and details are PERFECT! Here's some pics I took with the helmet on my mannequin.

The camera I have right now is pretty lousy, so bear with the pics. I plan on using my bros better camera later this week.

That mannequin is looking great! Everything comes together quite nicely. The new helmet is just the right touch! :thumbsup
