A few weeks ago my artist friend asked me what I would like for Christmas.

He paints and makes things

I got talking and showed him my Arvn helmets....

That got him thinking

When he was younger he did 1-35 scale tanks and was hip to Militarily tanks etc but hadn’t messed with that in a decade

I showed him the Nam helmet thread and he laughed when he seen the red swish Arvn ranger helmet and was surprised that that was a real cammo-morale Painting.

I showed him original pictures of it in use as he fell in love and we decided he was going to paint one.

I pulled a rough helmet from my stash and here are some of his first go around goes.

Obviously helmet will be documented here and marked and signed and dated by Fred as not to confuse anyone down the line as to its originality

Bill,

Hes a punk hippy guy in a band and it was more of a mental challenge to him as a reminder of his Tamiya model tank painting days.

Like flexing an old memory muscle you know.

Hes going on tour in a few days so I get to play with the helmet when he brings it over.... and fix up the liner and busted chinstraps.....

That will be my Christmas pottering around the house project.

I dont think hes doing anymore.

American Graffiti

It is

He's clearly a talented artist he's taken the idiosyncrasies of the art work and replicated them near perfectly (which most fakers never do well)

Lets hope this is his first and last :lol:
