Title: The 08/15'ers! Post by: Leon on 17 February 2013, 06:01:59 PM Dave decided to invest in a reproduction WW1 German helmet last summer, which he got Jenna to paint up in some distinctive camouflage. This one has been to a few of the shows towards the back end of last year, but we'll be taking it along with us for the rest of 2013 and we're hoping to capture a few of you wearing it!
After 'The Cat in the Hat, and the 'Pendraken Auxiliaries', we'll also need a name for this new thread, so please add your suggestions and we'll pick the best one. Here's the first two volunteers from the York show: (http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/l575/PendrakenMiniatures/German%20Helmet/DSCF4115_zps89e25b1e.jpg) (http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/l575/PendrakenMiniatures/German%20Helmet/DSCF4116_zps94fcc624.jpg) Title: Re: New helmet pics!
