Sir Wolf:
you shame me hehe no i definitely wanna remake mine.  what material did  you say you used? all i had was wool and i think mine is too heavy and large.

what are teh average sizess for these?

Sir Gerard de Rodes:
Sir Wolf,
I suppose the size of the material veil part (can`t remember it`s name) depends on the size and shape of your helm.

The size of the lion was dictated by whatever I could get hold of from e-bay in such short notice lol  ::)

The lion is painted, carved wood, the veil is blue linen lined with yellow felt. The roll is scrap wool rolled then covered with the blue linen with a gold flecked blue ribbon. The whole lot was then attached to a ply wood base with a selection of screws, pins and threads, this was then drilled to point it to the drilled helm.
 I basically just used bits I had lying round the house to keep the cost and time down.

Sir Brian:
The wreath is known as a Torse and the covering is known as a Mantle  ;)
