Flyaway 2

Got another Flyaway off of EvilBay.

Turned up at work whilst I was in France.

Classic colourway, chuffed with this one, it's all a bit wonky mind, check the paintjob with the holes.

Foam was a bit manky...

 So out it came and new 'memory' foam went in, could have done a better job but it can be redone if need be...

Will tart it up at a later date, I reckon I can get the scratches out. 

Helmet Project

It's moved a step forward, been a bit busy at work recently so it had taken a bit of a back seat.

Anyway it's coming along now. A few more weeks and I reckon it'll be almost there.

One Day I'll Flyaway

Started to polish my helmet (titter ye not missus).

Flatted back the paint with 1000 grit wet & dry, got a lot of the marks out. this was in preparation for polish and then lacquer.

I decided it was best to strip the trim off and one thing led to another and before I knew it I ended up with a bag of bits.

Got plans, will keep you posted. ;-)

Oh and further to the eBay seller advertising it as a Death Box, heard from Sean Goff that Death Box didn't do helmets (as I suspected) but Jeremy Fox made some before starting Death Box.

Shiny Purple Helmet

Another eBay purchase, arrived at work today in the post.
It was advertised  as a Death-Box helmet, not sure if it is or not, don't recall them selling their own brand of helmets but I could be mistaken, memory and old age etc.

Anyway it's not in too bad nick, the stickers will have to go unfortunately the R.A.D one is all wrinkled and the SS20 isn't much better. Same old story flat stickers and round helmets.
The photos don't really do it justice, there's a bit of flash glare that makes it look worse although there are a few white marks which at first glance looked like scratches but look like paint marks that will polish off. The foam inside isn't disintegrating but smells a bit stale and has yellowed.

I thought it looked too small but it's a nice snug fit.
