Brilliant looking lid, it is not so long ago we saw the original just like this and how we wished for an accurate replica, this is as good as it gets!

Stephen, looks great. I built one today and it is really nice to work with as you say. As the plastic is that more supple it seems to work with you in ways abs just wont. So the shape is not as cast in and more easily manipulated together.

 

I am pretty pleased with the results for sure :)

I wish they could source more of the plastic, and at cheaper prices. No doubt that for the ultimate accuracy amongst the hardcore collectors price is of little issue, but it is pretty pricy for the others of us.

 

Either way, these helmets are no doubt a milestone in TK history. :duim:

Thank's for the info Stephen.

1mm...that sounds quite thin.So i guess it's more a display piece.
