WW1 style Pith Helmet

[theCalHigh]

I know Lego has a pith helmet, but its not accurate at all.

here is what i have in mind:


perhaps instead of having a stud on the top, Will would be able to add a little (emphasis on little) "button" on top, just like the one in the picture.

There is also the posabilty for a design like the ones used on the european front. (yes i know its young Indiana Jones :)

FYI the helmet in the picture from the Young Indiana Jones is not a pith helmet even though it bears a somewhat similar shape. A pith helmet is really just a sun hat designed to shade a soldiers head in tropical climates. The French/Belgian style helmet is metal and is closer to the Germanic pickelhaube style without a spike. I think I would rather see a pickelhaube with attachment point for a spike before a pith helmet as it would be much more versatile.

I know indy is not wearing a pith, its just to get the idea out there :)
