My new one has not been unveiled yet and I don't want to steal your thunder so unveiled it will stay, for now.

This one you posted is a screamer and it is near impossible to upgrade. Has it all, a personalization, done stamp, nice liner and strap, nearly 100% paint and decals. A keeper, for sure.

Thank you, Doug. I respect your decision. I look forward with great anticipation to see the helmet that replaced this one.

One day , One day!!

That is such a fantastic looking helmet Todd! I am still waiting for a nice double decal police helmet to come my way. Leon.

A great lid!

If I may suggest, there is a photography technique that you might find useful in addition to your nicely improvised light box.

I imagine you are shooting with a DSLR or point and shoot? If so then you may have access to a focal setting called 'spot focus' or some similar term. If you select this setting then essentially the camera will focus and set its light metering on the center of the subject and anything further behind (like the towel of your light box) will be out of focus and over-exposed giving less (or no) definition to the background. This resulting image will tend to be one of the subject floating against a background of white which if done right can make for a nice shot. You may need to play with the overall exposure setting to compensate if the shots are too light or too dark but I think your helmet could look even better shot in this way.
