1:2 Scale V8 Supercars Helmets???

[teambrock50]

I while ago there was talk Biante were going to do some 1:2 scale V8 Supercar Driver helmets. Is this still planned or not?

It would be nice to add to the collection.

I have the Troy Bayliss 1:2 scale helmet sitting next to several of his bikes and it looks sweet.

A few helmets I would like in 1:2,

Bayliss 2005
Senna (any year)
Fisichella (any year)
Skaife (HRT)
Biaggi (2001, 2002, I've got a replica 1:1)

I've got a 1:1 Brock '96 helmet and the one from last year, they look great sitting in my cabinet with the "collection" (my wife calls it "the second house deposit")

Does anyone make 1:1 replica helmets?

One of these would look awesome next to a model collection (or anywhere :)), but they may be a little pricey I suppose :confused:

I've seen a few, but they usually run into untis measured by the thousand!
Pity as I would love one myself.

From memory Biante were looking at doing :

Skaife
Murphy
Lowndes
Brock

These would look great next to the models

This was in an old newsletter


Biante Collectors Club Newsletter. 21st of June

"Biante will be releasing a range of 1:2 scale Helmets from some of Australias most popular drivers. Starting off the new range will be helmets from Skaife, Murphy, Lowndes and Peter Brock."

I wonder what has happened with them?
Can you let us know admin.

Is this like the one you've got,

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=59974&item=5197111414&rd=1

Starts at $2,500....too rich for me but it looks the part

[Mark H-M]

Yes that's it, I paid twice that though...I should buy this one too that would drop the average price paid!

does it have the microphone boom on it like on the team brock website ?

The 2004 helmet does, unfortunately the 1996 helmet doesn't and was a bit ordinary as it was not a direct replica (some minor details were not consistent to my pedantic eye!!)
