Really amazing work on the helmets, congrats!

Can you give me a clue which color blue paint you used on the Ronnie Peterson helmet. I think it is more brighter than the Tyrrell blue on the 1977 car.

Thanks!

Yes, sucks for me. My helmet is still not correct. Guess I'll have to display it so that only the right side is showing.... :D :D

You can do as Ronnie did at the 1978 German GP. Cover the John Player text on the helmet

Jeff, you'll like this: I tried to convince Derek about the convenience of devoting one of the BELLs to a certain AJ... I couldn't, but maybe someone else will do it! :wink: 8)
hehe, thank you James for trying!

Alex, is this a new book or just one I missed? I only have one "Pilot" series book on Senna.. Makes me wonder about my supplier who was supposed to be getting me all the Joe Honda books as they were released. :shock:

Very inspirational. I bought a helmet to measure to print in scale. I really want to turn it into my hero’s lid, it has a cool connection already to him.

Any tips?
