Custom Piece Miniature – British Mk II “Brodie” Helmet (Desert Tan Medic) – 3D Print for LEGO minifigure

The item is a British Brodie Helmet (Medic Variant) accessory, designed for minifigures.

British Mk II “Brodie” Helmet (Desert Tan Medic) This is a custom molded headgear accessory in a Desert Tan color. The shape accurately replicates the iconic wide-brimmed Brodie Helmet (also known as the “Tommy Helmet” or “Doughboy Helmet”). The front features a distinct high-quality print of a Red Cross on a White Circle, the universal symbol for medical personnel.

Background: The Brodie Helmet was the standard issue steel combat helmet for British and Commonwealth forces (including Australians, Canadians, and New Zealanders) during World War II. The Desert Tan color suggests this specific helmet belongs to a medic serving in the North African Campaign, possibly with the famous “Desert Rats” (7th Armoured Division) fighting against Rommel’s Afrika Korps. The prominent Red Cross insignia was worn to identify the soldier as a non-combatant medic, theoretically protecting them from enemy fire under the Geneva Convention. In a LEGO diorama, this is an essential piece for a field ambulance crew or a combat medic tending to wounded soldiers in the desert.
