Ceremonial looking hats and leather helmets, which had no place in combat, were removed from front line service in favor of steel headgear. Napoleonic battle lines gave way to trench warfare, while the grand colorful uniforms were replaced with subtle tones of gray and khaki. The First World War is remembered as the first truly modern war. At first this often meant adopting existing head protection, but the interwar and Cold War eras saw great development in the types of helmets tank crews were provided. Personally I have some more models to upload soon, once I find some time and energy to finish some projects and take good photos of them.Since the first tanks rolled across the battlefield during World War I 100 years ago at the Battle of the Somme, armored crews have required specialized equipment to protect them inside their giant metal beasts. Let's hope the conflict in Ukraine will come to an end this next year. I wish everyone a happy new year and good luck. During that time people run around will all kinds of crazy headwear, so it should blend in more. I will wear it for a new years walk to see how people will react to it. Should make for a great bicyle helmet for the cold months, and should definitely draw some looks. And although it is not perfect, I think it came out pretty good overall. It took me almost the entire month of december to create.
Unlike the original, the ear parts are empty, since you are supposed to just put it over a regular set of headphones. I also 3D printed and painted a button in the shape of a star with ukrainian colors to pin on the forehead pad.Ī bit of leather was used for the closing strap. I then ordered some jeans fabric in anthracite color for the outside base, some teddy plush fabric in lamb fur look for the inside, and later bought some cellular rubber for the bump pads. Using this, I was able to create a sewing pattern. After I studied the thing to see how it works and what features it has, I found a 3D model of such a hat. It is often shortened to Tankoshlem or sometimes also known as Shlemofon, which is a combination of the words for headset and helmet, that points at the integrated radio.
The TSh4M designation stands for Танковый шлем ( Tankoviy shlem) and means tanker helmet. It would be warm and you could wear some headphones with it without it getting uncomfortable! I had an idea a while ago, to make myself a russian-style tanker cap / helmet, as a winter hat.
