Highly detailed, game-ready 3D model of a British-style custodian (coxcomb) police helmet — optimized for GTA mods, film/VR, and historical/ceremonial renders. Includes FBX, OBJ and Blender source files plus PBR texture maps.
This is a carefully modeled 3D Custodian Police Helmet (also called a coxcomb helmet) based on real museum/auction examples and contemporary issue variants. It’s designed for use in GTA mods, real-time engines (Unity/Unreal), VFX, film props, VR/AR, historical reconstructions and museum visualisations. The helmet model is delivered with clean topology, multiple LODs, and full PBR texture sets so you can drop it into a scene, rig it to a character head, or use it as a high-quality render prop.
Important historical/context points for buyers: the custodian helmet is a long-standing symbol of British policing (in use since the 1860s) and remains in use across many UK territorial forces and Crown dependencies — often for foot patrols and ceremonial duties.
What’s included
Model files: FBX (v2018+ recommended), OBJ, native Blender (.blend).

Variants: Polished chrome coxcomb variant, enamelled helmet plate variant, and a generic blank plate option (useful to avoid badge/trademark issues).
UVs & naming: Clean non-overlapping UV islands, logically named materials (e.g., Helmet_Shell, Coxcomb_Chrome, Plate_Enamel).
Extras: Wireframe renders, clay renders, AO pass, and a PSD comp with layered textures for quick edits.
Documentation: README with scale (real-world 1:1 scale ~ head-fit), pivot point instructions, and recommended export settings for Unity/Unreal and GTA mod pipelines.
Where/how this helmet is used (organisations & countries)
Primary use: United Kingdom — widely used historically and today by many territorial police forces for foot patrols and ceremonial duties. (Wikipedia notes the helmet has been used by most English and Welsh forces; some forces adopted replacements for operational reasons but keep them for ceremony.) Wikipedia
