Pimp my helmet (updated Januari 26)

I’ve met Harrold Gunnink of Airbrush Studio Lijnden. He is a real master artist in the Airbrush technique. Harrold has become a true specialist in airbrushing helmets and he suggested PIMPING one of our HGU-55 helmets into the colours of the Red colored Yak. Yes, it frightens me to leave this pretty expansive helmet into the hands of Harrold, however, if you see his work, it must be good. His customers are mostly famous race drivers like Jos Verstappen, Jan Lammers and Tim Coronel. The next couple of weeks I will keep you updated via this BLOG.

Original helmet

Step one: carefully take out the equipment

Step two: discuss the disign with the Yak crew Step three: The helmet is securely taped and sandpapered. In a special prepared paint cabin, the helmet will be sprayed with primer and painted in a neutral soft white colour. Only non-static Acryl paint is to be used at Studio Lijnden, of course quite important for the equipment in the aircraft, also SAFETY FIRST at studio Lijnden. Damned you Harrold, you knew I wanted the helmet to be red :-) Aaah, sorry Harrold, here is the red paint... At the back of the helmet, the spot for the Yakkes logo is securely taped. Even the traditional artist can't work without a PCHey Harrold, if you are using printers... even I can do the job ! (NOT) Dude, this is a piece of precision work
The master himself ! Aaah, there is the Wodk.. euh red star !
The Yakkes Logo is carefully spraid, step by stepNow it's lightning time, same as the Red Yak sidesAnd it's all done by handNotice the numbers of crashed aircraft, thanks Harrold!Ready for the glossy paint desided to remove the name, it's too busy Even the leather cover can be airbrushed !
Tip of the day, never ever tell the artis: "well see what you do with the protection cover, it's all yours" Stay tuned for the latest images !
