I wonder why anyone would put so much time and effort into converting "construction helmets" ...
Playmobil produced a great pickelhaube!
It is so easy for anyone to make a mould and then cast all of the pickelhauben that they could ever want.
Hmm... I am not sure about that.
Producing a mould is time consuming.
...and you have to make a certain investment into silicone and resin.
...and you need a certain amount of space for production.
...and you will have to renew the mould after a certain number of copies...
On the other hand you can just order hundreds of helmets and flagpoles, cut the flagpoles, maybe drill the helmets, glue it together and spray it gray.
You should not forget that it is not for his own collection but for resale.
Aaaand I am not sure if playmo would tolerate the sale of moulded pickelhauben..
In any case, it is definitely a custom and not a moulded pickelhaube on the pics...
best,
