Chocks Away!

Chocks Away Tankman Skull Ornament

A pale skull peers from beneath a brown, vintage-style padded tank helmet in Chocks Away. Broad ear coverings frame the hollow eyes, while a chin strap hangs below the jaw. Sculpted seams and padded panels give the headgear a worn, military-inspired appearance.

Cast in hand-painted polyresin, the ornament has a listed size of approximately 13cm. Bone-effect shading defines the brow, teeth and eye sockets against the darker helmet. The contrast makes both the grinning face and its distinctive equipment stand out on a skull collector’s shelf.

Vintage Headgear with a Macabre Occupant

The rounded helmet panels change the familiar skull outline, enclosing the crown and widening the silhouette at the sides. Their stitched-looking detail contrasts with the smooth bone-effect face, making the headgear as much a part of the ornament’s character as the skull itself.

Brown tones bring an earthy warmth to the design, while the shaded teeth and hollow features preserve its gothic character. It is an unusual addition for collectors who enjoy skulls dressed in distinctive costumes or equipment.
