Looks great!  Where'd you get the pattern, Sir Patrick? 

I need to do mine for MD RenFest...

No pattern really. I just tapped some butcher paper around the crown and drew the basic shape. Once I got that how I wanted it I folded it in half and cut it out. I traced that pattern on another sheet butcher paper and laid out the dag placement using the charge patterns from my surcoat. There is no top to my mantle. The helm is conical which would be a nightmare to tailor, and no one sees it anyway because of the crest.

Sounds like a workshop thread to me!   ;)
