300’s King Leonidas’s Helmet Replica from the Modeler Magic Collection

February 28, 2009 Posted in 300 Selections, Blue Screen Photography of Kurt Kuhn, Prop Collection of Kurt Kuhn

Entering my collection is this fine, licensed piece. Based on the striking graphic novel 300 artwork of Frank Miller, this surprisingly realistic headgear measures 19-inches tall. Fashioned of steel and plated with antiqued brass, the leather-lined helmet features a genuine horsehair crest, adjustable chinstrap, display stand, and certificate of authenticity.I recommend this for anyone who love historic things, but cannot buy the genuine article. I am very impressed with how much the studio prop and costuming departments kept mainly to the original designs of the REAL Spartan helmets worn back when King Leonidas ruled Sparta.
