Never heard of them but I have to say I don't like their work . Here are a few issue I noticed:
1) There are color differences between WW1 German helmet models, post war transitionals, WW2 etc. This guy appears to be using the same color for all of them (and appears to of tried hiding that through the lighting when the pics were taken) Very amateurish.
2) The same goes for his US helmets (WW1 vs, WW2).
3) His WW2 US helmet liner has late war OD webbing which is not mentioned (could be an issue for someone doing a mid war WW2 impression.)
4) His DAK WWII German set up he is selling if so Farb its not even funny. Wrong goggles, wrong tunic, wrong buckle, wrong bayonet frog etc etc.
In my opinion its someone with a small stock of helmets and some paint from Home Depot.
I'll still go with Jacob (Alexander and Sons) as he at least knows his crap and is honest about what you are getting down to the paint codes and manufacture markings!
OK...I'll stop ripping the website apart now.

Likewise, the Austrian helmet is painted the same color as all the German ones, rather than Goldenebraun or Isonzobraun. I'll stick with Alexander & Sons too.

I thought I'd keep my mouth shut on this venders site. I will say I have spent years finding perfect original paint samples to match, in some cases I use the original fomulas. Its not cheap or easy but its what you have to do to paint helmets right.
