Hi
Can anyone suggest where I might purchase a driver head in a full-face helmet, preferable early 70s style and without a visor, please? I've been looking at all the usual suppliers and there is nothing I can find that really fits the bill.
Best Regards
David

Check the MRRC spares on Pendles site, they do a full length driver figure with a full face helmet minus visor.

Thanks David, I had seen that but wasn't all that impressed but I'm probably being too picky!! I'll probably give it a try.
Best Regards

Actually there is a dearth of good heads for modern use.
I've had a request to do two modern 1/24 drivers for someone as well as a 1/32. They just done seem available in any scale.

Not really a subject for this forum but Fujima does a nice set of 1/24 scale driver figures including one with an excellent full face helmet.
For 1/32 scale full face helmets I use and improve ones from old cheap bodyshells picked up at toyfairs or Scalextric swapmeets.

The best one in my view is the 1970's Matchbox static Surteees kit head and body.
It has been cast and recast many times.
When Maxi Models stopped making new parts I bougt up all his stock to ensure i had a few but sadly they are now close to finishing too....
DNQ Simon does a casting of the head. Not the best but a start?
Cheers
Andi

Thanks everyone. At least I know it wasn't my inadequate Googling! I'm sure I'll sort something out.
Best Regards

I believe Immense Miniatures have the intention of doing a modern head or heads. But of course that doesn't solve the current need.

Not a great pic, taken at night in the workshop but I have some of these sitting around...I must find the mould and do a few more.  |

Hi John
I'd be interested in two or three if you do mould some more.
Best Regards

If people are still looking for full-face helmets, we have them now...  |
