we made this pictures quickly yesterday, we don't remember what is exactly this banner, so the sword with bifide blade is according musulman tradition the Mahomet sword.

The people, shields, flags and picture settings are all exceptionally well done, but was intrigues me most are the helmets. Can you please tell us more about them and show them enlarged?

It will be difficult for me to made other pictures because it's customized by a friend who haven't internet and I don't have an helmet here.

So it's an helmet made with 3 playmobil elements:

-for the basis, the turban of magician hat, we found a lot in france because the oriental wizard were in a mc donald concurrent set, so we take the basis for helmet or for fez.
-the helmet is the conic helmet found in medieval/viking set
-and finally the point is the point of awful double ax.

So mcd was again very valuable for our purposes.
And the helmet of the right ottoman?  :)

the ottoman helmet is made of 4 parts:

-the conic helmet is the most older 70's knight helmet
-the basis is the basis of the crown with cross and lys
-You can always found for pike the top of double axe
-the nasal is made with the beginning of the same axe

Thanks for all
