    mego scale pith helmet?

    I see this question has popped up a few times but couldn't find any resolution.
    Seems everything from burger king toys to rugrats to lion rock was mentioned, even shrinking a gi joe helmet!
    Anyone ever find anything in mego scale?

    I've wondered about the Moebius Three Stooges kits--are their pith helmets in-scale?

      a quick google shows the models are 10" tall... might be close, but isn't that also the scale of big jim? sort of in between gi joe and mego?

        what about modifying an army helmet like this one:



        heck, at this point, I might try to sculpt one!

          Yes. But that height might include the diorama base & not necessarily indicate scale.

            member AAAAA has the 3 Stooges model in his hand and tells me that the helmet is big jim/lone ranger scale, not suitable for mego.
            oh well, mine is in the works... and it's not ready for prime time yet if it comes out ok my friend's wife can make a mold for copies.
            also she's very talented, she could probably make an awesome one from scratch- maybe if enough people are interested (and the price was right)?

              still a little rough.
              at this point it looks more like a UK bobby hat than a pith helmet, but I think the next layer will round out the top and expand the brim.
