hey guys,
i've been working on this helmet for some time now. It's my first attempt on armour construction. I created the patterns myself with a little help from the internet. Its made from 2mm mild steel ,but the top plate is thinned out due to deep dishing (i guess its about 1.5 mm now).I still have to drill a few(~97) holes, as you can see in one of the photos. If you wish i could upload the patterns for you , it will be work to digitize them since i drew them on a A3 sheet.
The helm is both cold and hot worked. the plates are cut out , bend and then very easy to fit together (ha-ha). it was kind a hard to make the top plate that strong domed since i'm very inexperienced , and i think it will dent easily..
greetings from Germany , Jan
