And then there's the color: that red is not something seen in the helmet shell this is meant to mimic. It's a bit fancier than the average resin cameo in having 2 colors used to make the background look more natural & in the touches of orange at some of the high points, as is sometimes seen on genuine shell.</p><p><br /></p><p>The real point is that she was special to your mother & is a lovely reminder of her.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
