This helmet, with its rather special appearance, is one of the few preserved objects that we know was owned by the Swedish king [Gustav Vasa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_I_of_Sweden). 

It was made in Germany in 1540, probably in Augsburg or Nuremberg, which were home to some of the most skilled armour makers of the time. The visor, the part that covers the face, did not originally belong to the helmet, but it is thought to be of the same period.

A helmet of this type was made not for battle but for celebratory occasions. In the 16th century, full suits of steel armour were the height of fashion. For parades and other royal festivities, the social elite would dress up in specially-made sets of costume armour with a close helmet. During these celebrations it became popular, in the early 16th century, to wear close helmets with grotesque visors in the form of animal or human faces, like this one, to enhance the festive atmosphere and heighten the sense of theatricality.

Helmet with Grotesque Visor

3D rendition of a beautiful illustration used as inspiration, of the talented artist [Death Burger](https://www.instagram.com/deathburger/). Had a lot of fun painting it all the way to completion, even though it took way more time than I anticipated. The head and the hair were done in ZBrush, the visor in Maya and all the unlit texturing in Substance Painter.

This helmet was most likely made in the 1610s in the district of Norrmalm, Stockholm. 
The helmet is very similar to those made for King Gustav II Adolf and helmets worn at jousting tournaments at the time.

The helmet weighs 5.086 grams (≈ 11.2 lb) and would have provided the wearer with adequate protection. 

Worth noting is that the helmet features the same basic shape as other closed 16th century helmets on display in the museum.

This 2-piece visor consists of a visor and an upper bevor.

Jousting Helmet

This helmet features decorative grooves on the skull and the visor has been extended into a beak.

As late as in 1866, the helmet was thought to have belonged to King Magnus Ladulås (dead in 1290) and was on display in the Riddarholmen Church together with a suit of armour consisting of unrelated parts.

However, King Magnus would never have come across the helmet which was made in Germany in the 1530s.

Helmet with Beaked Visor

This is a 3D model of an ancient marble statue in the Louvre Museum, Paris (catalog #Ma2369). The Nike of Samothrace is an example of Greek Hellenistic sculpture, and has been dated to c. 190 BCE. Its name derives from the location where it was discovered, the Island of Samothrace. Nike is sometimes shown perched atop a ship's peak, and sometimes not, like this model.

This is a 3D model of a Neoclassical statuette, which copies an ancient marble statue in the National Archaeological Museum (Naples). It displays a woman (the goddess Aphrodite? a mortal?) partially draped in her robes. This pose and subject is a statue type called the “Aphrodite Kallipygian” (Callipygian Venus). This modern name came from the Greek words *kallos* (beauty) + *pyge* (buttocks). The original Roman work dates from the 1st c. BCE. It was recovered in the 16th c. missing its head.

Like so many other pieces of armour in the Royal Armoury's collection, this helmet was made in Augsburg, Germany in the 1540s. 

This helmet features a collar of three interlocking riveted plates as protection for the wearer’s neck. The helmet visor consists of two parts; a visor with a horisontal viewing slot that can be lifted separately and an upper-bevor with breathing holes.
2-piece slotted visors became increasingly common during the second quarter of the 16th century. 

Along the edges and on both sides of the helmet comb there is an etched decor.

Closed Helmet with Etched Decor

This helmet is part of a suit armour with similar decorative grooves as on the helmet’s skull.

This type of armour is often referred to as Maximilian armour (after the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I). The bellows visor on the helmet is also characteristic of this type of armour.

It was thought, during the 19th century, that the helmet had belonged to King Johan I of Sweden (who died in 1222) but it was later revealed that the helmet had in fact been made in Germany around 1510.

This is a 3D model of “The Terme Boxer” attributed to Apollonius, and one of the few surviving bronze statues from the classical era. This muscular man is seated on a stone structure, wearing only boxing attire such as wraps for his hands and penis. The Terme Boxer represents a change in depicting heroic figures, from beautiful unburdened youth to a man beaten down by life yet still looking upwards, signaling changing virtues in the Mediterranean from purity to hardiness.

This is a 3D model of a post-antique marble statue by Bertel Thorvaldsen in The Royal Collection of Paintings and Sculptures at the Statens Museum for Kunst, in Copenhagen,  Denmark. The statue depicts Venus (Aphrodite), the Roman goddess of love, holding an apple. This apple represents the prize in the myth [The Judgment of Paris](www.theoi.com/Olympios/JudgementParis.html). The contrapposto figure looks down at the apple in her right hand. The left hand holds a cloth and rests upon a tree trunk.

The harquebusier was the most common form of cavalry found throughout Western Europe during the early to mid-17th century. Early harquebusiers were characterised by the use of a type of carbine called a "harquebus". In England, harquebusier was the technical name for this type of cavalry, though in everyday usage they were usually simply called 'cavalry' or 'horse'. In Germany they were often termed Ringerpferd, or sometimes Reiter, in Sweden they were called lätta ryttare.

The armour comprises a Pot Helmet with two-piece skull joined by a low-comb, neck-guard (Lobster tail) of simulated lames and pointed peak or visor with three-bar guard hinged at each side to allow it to be raised when not needed. At each side are the cheek pieces for protection, hinged by means of leather strips.

I LIKE TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND HAVE FOR A WHILEEEEEEE!

I like many things with lighting and noises and stuff and traffic lights & streetlights are an everyday accourance for meh!

This is a recreation of the T-Con/Kentron Era Incandescent as the soon moved over from being made by Kentron to being made by Econlite but I think that not much changed designwise. This is the twelve inch version, still with my CFL because I didn't go to www.lamptech.co.uk to see some incandescent luminaire designs which is the site where I get all my bulb designs.

This pack utilizes a new Visor, The Durasig/Alusig front door, an average 3 stack vertical fixture & a doghouse fixture.

Ralph Lauren Polo Visor

A creation with a resized T-con lumianre and a durasig lumianire with the limit line. I made the T-con light smaller and made the durasig larger and added a limit lens over it and interchanged it from top to bottom and made a weird tunnel visor design.

I might do a Peek signal next because I keep seing them. Either peek or alusig!

A high-fantasy raid boss featuring a jagged, thorn-covered silhouette and a “void-knight” aesthetic. Clad in matte obsidian plate armor pulsing with glowing cyan-blue veins, the spikes on pauldrons, helm, and limbs create an untouchable close-combat presence. The spiked great-helm with a narrow T-slit visor radiates cold authority. Wielding a massive serrated black greatsword in the right hand and a towering spiked greatshield attached to the left arm with a glowing red rift, this knight embodies extreme defensive and offensive power. Ideal for epic fantasy games, cinematic bosses, and dark medieval scenarios.

A recreation of the Eagle/Durasig 8 Inch traffic light with the tunnel visor configuration. This is something that took two days to make and another two to post. This uses my Mercury CFl and no real Incandescent bulb compared to the real thing because! I DIDNT MAKE ONE!!!.

Other than that this was created almost entirely in designspark mechanical (CAD) and I added wires & terminals in each light, not just amber/yellow.

I might make some more configurations and add more detail but yeah! This is my finished detailed product with an open version to see whats inside!
