Aircooled VW South Africa

My father has been busy making a WW2 helmet as a gear knob for the bus,
Some pics of the helmet. First the helmet made with clay
Next was adding the releasing agent and covering with fibreglass to make the mould
Filling the mould, and then removing the contents
Now for some spot putty, giving it a sand and painting it.
What do you guys think ?
Any ideas for color or emblems on it.

well, if you wanna go full "dodgy"


one that will suit your bus


Maybe just remove the swastika

That's cool! I love when someone takes some time on finishes and adding finer details.

Thanks guys, I think this will fit the bus nicely
Mince I like the look of that second one, the print might be difficult as the helmet is not that big.

make the print bigger. but have the leather strap on it. Will be SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

Finished it today

Hey that really looks cool. Nice man

Very cool! How've you strengthened it enough to handle engaging reverse? My bus you have to give a huge amount of pressure to get the gear lever down...

Looking at the first few picks it looked like he was making a penis head...
But maybe thats just my sick mind working funny...

Nice finnished product....
