Title: Can I get away with this helm with this kit?
Post by: Sir Patrick on 2010-10-25, 00:47:47

I really like the look of these effigies.  They date around 1320.  Can I get away with using my sugarloaf in a kit like that, or is it too out of date by then?

Thanks, Sir Wolf!  That's one less thing to worry about.  BTW, thanks for the link.

I think those fellas up top weren't wearing their helms, but all the research I've done in the past regarding that particular era seems to point to the usage of the great helm from the beginnings of the 13th through 15th centuries; in a word, you're good.
