Specifically, a helmet that fits Longbow Studio's headsculpt of Captain Miller. I am doing a kitbash of him and have tried a variety of helmets on him but they all look two sizes too big.

Does any one make a smaller 1/6th scale M1 helmet or know of a technique to make an existing Dragon helmet look smaller?

Thanks!

If you can, try to get a hold of the older BBi M1 helmets. They are smaller and I know there is a 2nd Rangers one that they made. You might just need to replace the webbing straps

If I remember correctly Soldiers of the World M1's are on the small side.

Another one is by 3 ZERO's 101st para.

The M1 helmets made by 21st Century are pretty darned small.

I remember reading someplace (I have to check my sources) that the actor playing winters was in just a liner. The actors head being long and narrow he looked lost in the helmet, so they added a strap to the front of a liner and there you go. DiD's metal M1's have liners.

This little tid bit has been bugging me since I first read this thread yesterday. I been through all my Band O' Brothers reference material and I can't find the info. I'll watch the making of disk that came with the box set tonight.

I figured out where I got that info on Miller's helmet. It was over at 6th Army Group. I'll hunt for the link.

Thanks! I appreciate the help.

Hmm... are you talking about Damian Lewis in Band of Brothers or Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan using a helmet liner? Because it sounds as if you've confused the two...

I thought I was talking about Damian Lewis, but who knows... I don't exactly have a photographic memory, more like a doodle-graphic memory. If I shake my head real hard and can even erase.

So, tell me, how is this project doing?

Still looking for a helmet that fits.

John Ivory's helmets are pretty small and not a bad rendition of the M-1 style. I don't know if he still sells them or not, through John's Stuff. I know he is still doing decal sets for vehicles.
