Custom Piece Miniature – German M35 Stahlhelm (Desert Tan with Double Decals) – 3D Print for LEGO minifigure

The item is a German DAK M35 Stahlhelm (Steel Helmet) accessory, designed for minifigures.

German M35 Stahlhelm (Desert Tan with Double Decals) This is a custom molded headgear accessory in a Desert Tan (Sand) color, replicating the iconic shape of the German Stahlhelm. Uniquely, this version features “Double Decal” printing: one side displays the Wehrmacht Eagle (Reichsadler) shield (black eagle on white/silver), while the other side displays the National Tricolor shield (Black, White, and Red stripes).

Background: This helmet represents the gear used by the Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK) during the North African Campaign of World War II. While German helmets were originally Field Grey, troops under Field Marshal Rommel often painted their helmets with tan desert camouflage paint to blend into the sand. The inclusion of the Double Decals represents an early-war configuration (M35 style), signifying the soldier’s allegiance to the Wehrmacht (Army). In a LEGO diorama, this is the definitive headgear for a standard German infantryman fighting in battles like El Alamein or Tobruk.
