Hi nick,
Well done mate that makes a great display piece, the net and goggs, set it off a treat. I think the nine months were worth waiting for, and now on to the next one,. Your collection must be growing good now.

Nice display helmet Nick. It's fun to collect but sometimes you just have to get your hands into it and have fun building one like this.
