Remember this?

I would like some suggestions on what type of helmets to add to the ape heads. I am not entirely happy with the one I started.

Any good examples you could suggest?

Thanks.

Soviet Tanker style helemts always look good in a SciFi style setting.

Nope, I didn't rmrmber that, as I was in Thailand on my honeymoon when you posted it. Thanks for bringing it back up, as your work is great and bears viewing again!

They're coming along nicely. I see what you mean on the helmets. Is that more of the latest ape movie look more than the original look? I'm at a loss to describe helmets, I'd almost say something like Magneto's helmet or a Barbute style:

What about the tankers helets that the italians used during WW2 or the helmets that the German air force used in WW1.

Sort of leather cap with a padded ring.

I think something like Goldwyrm says, similiar to the latest POTA movie.

Cacique Caribe07 Mar 2007 12:41 p.m. PST

Then I should go with something like these then?

Of those 4 links, I prefer the less pointy helmet in pic2.

Goldwyrm,

So you pick the football helmets over the footballs? :)

Yeah. From a practical standpoint the high hats would provide a big target silhouette when in cover. And on the game table your guys would look like crayons. :-)

LOL. Good point.
