randx0 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I was going through my parts doing a little prep for future projects and came across a pocket of helmets . How many helmets do you have floating around ? Any favorites ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I've probably got a few helmets stashed in a box with other accessory items, but there are a couple of other things that are really piled up... -trophies from AMT Trophy Series kits -those cinder blocks that came in the AMT '50 Ford convertible and '34 Ford pickup kits -the mini billboard frames that came in some 1961 AMT and SMP annual kits. I've been meaning to print cards to stick into them (original kits had a "card" printed on the instruction sheet that the builder was supposed to fill in). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Those blocks are very cool... Edited January 20, 2022 by deuces wild 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 The trophies are neat too. Some of the ones I have were altered a bit by the original builders...like having the bases cut down to make them different heights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I’ve been looking for a 60’s-era helmet for a drag build I’m doing…any tips on which kits come with these? I have a bunch of Paddy Wagon police helmets, but that’s not quite the right look 🤪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the AMT 1963 corvette has one . Finding those little extras in kits is one of the things I've always enjoyed I'd bet someone would just give you one if ya asked , but be specific the ones I have pictured look mostly the same but there's some subtle differences . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know what to do with all of the trophys but they're fun to find . I can't remember which revell kit it was but there was one that had some very nice heather detail it was impressive for the time maybe the original attempt 1 kit or a Roth kit ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
