New helm and hammer
Sir Edward:
I hadn't thought about a kit specifically; I mostly just thought it was cool. :) But I may build a kit around it.
It looks like the rim and skull portion are one piece dished to have that shape, rather than having the rim welded or riveted on. The spangen bands are all one piece (a large cross, essentially). The fit and finish is on par with the sallets we ordered previously, and it's lined the same way. The rolled edges around the rim almost look like they're rolled over the edge of the leather underneath, but in actuality they just perfectly meet.
Really not bad for the price at all.
Das Bill:
It'd be great for a man-at-arms kit.
I'm going to use mine with more complete plate... you don't see too many modern kits that do that. That's David's plan as well, as I understand it.
Sir Edward:
Yeah, I was starting to think maybe a linen jack with jack chains or something. That would be pretty slick.
Your plate kit with it will be very interesting. So has David started ordering anything yet or is he still planning?
Sir Brian:
Sweet Helm and Hammer...I've always had a certain fondness for hammers...A weapon good
for ALL occasions! ;D

The inspiration would be something akin to this:

Though mine will be simpler. I'll likely order a Windrose bevor to use with it.

He bought those gauntlets that Arms and Armor had for sale recently on their "Fall Muster" sales page. He also bought a breast plate and kettle hat from GDFB, which probably will arrive within a few days. And he already has the foundation garments, so when those come in, he'll actually have a partial harness. :)
I ordered my kettle hat within the same order, and I also ordered the Milanese Point-Tied arms (we ordered through work). I think its cool that more people are appreciating the kettle hat. :)
