What do you mean?

I attached the rings to the row of punched holes on the belt-weight leather band on the backside via a saddle & whip stitch combo.
Then I added some leather edging to the bottom.
Then I figured out where the 8 rivets had to go (2 are holding my chin-strap on).
Then I pulled out the nasal a little.
Then I did some riveting (the 6 holes I had to drill were too small).
Then I laced on the maille to the top facegrill bar.


I used the this topic to help with the patterning of the rings.

Thorsteinn:
Rivets in.

Torse & favor on.

Padding & chinstrap in.





Hope to have some pics of me in full kit this weekend. :D
