updated an old friend (helmet)

[Sir Wolf]

added the top to him. not 100% sure i like it, but its been years since i've armoured anything. not sure i like the faceplate, may make another one before i rivet it on. it was based on a talbot pattern so the face plate maybe large for sca scale.

Poor, unfinished viking helmet. Finish this one so you can do the viking helmet too!

[Sir Wolf]

actually it was a pre viking. it was an ultuna helmet, but i didnt get the strips correct. its been that way for about 4 years or so, i just took the old strips off cause they had all my nuts n bolts tied up

[Sir Wolf]

going to paint this one. just for kicks.

[Sir James A]

There aren't enough painted early period helmets. Cool!

[Sir Wolf]

like i said i'm not really happy with it. BUT at least it will be finished and not sitting in pieces under my shelf. in my way. staring at me.  i decided to do small breathe holes on the opposite side of the lance. not like i could joust in this helm as it's like 18 or 19 gauge steel lol. but anywho. here's the first pic to the final paint.

[Sir Wolf]

[Sir Wolf]

Typical joust pass is left shoulder to left shoulder, you're good

Except you're seeing it in the mirror.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I know not what this "mirror" you speak of is, nor the odd black device in his hand which seems to have taken capture of his essence, and perhaps his soul. May I suggest simply tilting at windmills instead?

[Sir Wolf]

got the other side marked to be cut. the wife couldn't find the dremel cutting discs today at Walmart, so i'll have to get some at lowes
