I have posted some photos of my newly made helmet in my photo album.
It is along the lines of a coppergate style Medieval

Very nice helmet. Did it take you long to make?
Is that a burnt linseed oil finish on it.

Hi mikep,the helmet took me about two weeks all up to make,but now ive done one it would be easier for the next one.
The black on it is etch primer,mainly to stop it rusting and the steel was cold rolled black and not polished up before assembly.
This is all a learning curve ,thanks for your comments Very Happy
