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.

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.

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?
