2 afternoon spangenhelm, maybe of interest to newbies?

[accdntprone]

Fairly quick and dirty spangenhelm I made for a local Newbie. I cheated and welding in a couple places, but this helm can be made w/out welding. I just needed a hat fast but it would make a good first project I think.

If that's your idea of quick & dirty --
a) Okay, I can see that.
b) Quick & Dirty has come well up in the world these days.

That's gonna be a pretty happy newbie.

Nice!

Thanks. Got a practice today with 9 new fighters!

Hi Accdntprone,

Nice spangen for 'quick and dirty'!

On a side note, how did you recruit those 9 new fighters and how do you deal with new fighters, who have no armour, and training?

Cheers,

Jan

I didn't recruit them, just helping them get into armor. We have some loaner gear, though nowhere near enough for 9 ppl. I try to get them into helms and hand protection, cause that seems to be the most cost prohibitive and hardest to make for oneself. I also get a lot of mileage out of wisby coat of plates. Training is mostly done by Ack and Susan, though Nissan offers advice and witticisms from time to time.

Say "Hi" to Ack for me, I met him at Siege going into troll
