at least the helmet series (that counts ;-) should be complete.
have fun!

Many thanks Willy!
This is actually the Type 2 as the thiner chinstrap version is the Type 1.

When we released the "Type 1" helmet, those many weeks ago, we hadn't
come up with a good name for it - one that was specific enough to let
people know what the part was, but general enough to not exclude any
reasonable usage.  Since we didn't have a name, we just went with "Type
1".  In my mind, "Type 1" means the classic style helmet, not the
specific original-thinner-chin-strap class style helmet.  If there is a
"Type 2", I'd say it's part 2446, the crash-helmet style helmet.

I'm open to suggestions for renaming these parts, I just wanted to make
clear where this is coming from.

Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type ... Thin Chinstrap, Thick Chinstrap, Classic Style Helmet,
Crash-Helmet, Helmet Old, Helmet New ... no preference - every name is fine for me.
guys, english is not my native language ;-) finding a part I've never used before in a model
is always a guessing game. today I was looking for a BURP (Big Ugly Rock Piece), but there
was no BURP under /B. ultimately I had to flick through the whole d*** library: Brick 10 x 8 x 4,
Mountain, Panel, Stone, Wall?
you see, the name-business is yours.
