Great helm liners

<< < (4/12) > >>

Sir Edward:
For helmet crests, I think we've all found different solutions, from wooden sculptures, to plastic, to leather, to paper mache. There's a lot of different ways to make them, depending on the look you want.

Sir Brian:
Here are some pictures of what I came up with for mounting several different crests onto my same kind of great helm. Since the taking of these pictures I have added additional mounting holes for 4 different crests onto this one universal mounting board.




Using this mounting board also has the added benefit of providing a means of easily securing the mantle and torse onto the helm with some decorative string.  ;)

Sir Wolf:
as far as i know in later 15th century great helmets are definitely not used. early like right after the turn of the century they would be more like the pembridge styles.

Sir Patrick:

Here's the thread that showed how I made mine.  I chime in about halfway down page 1.

Sir Wolf:
that liner also looks like it could have been used in a great bassinet.
