...however I think the most difficult aspect of your project maybe finding a reliable method of securing the magnets to the 'wings'. :-\

Yeah i was thinking that too, but anyways what magnets do you suggest or any other ways of holding the wings to the helm

Yeah but what shape and size lol
Sir Patrick:
I've only seen them in round. They come in various strengths. I got mine at Hobby Lobby. I used four 1/2 inch #10 strength ones to secure my griffen crest. I drilled some 1/2 inch holes into the underside of the crest, packed in a little plumbers epoxy putty, and then shoved the magnets in the holes. Haven't had any trouble with them pulling off the crest. For wings, I'd try two 1/4 inch magnets per side (since the helm is curved). As for stability, with #10 rare earth magnets, I practically have to pry my crest off!
