Introduction/last 2 helms I made

Post by scoutrodel »

Just joined the fourms and wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking for awile now and have seen a lot of really good armor and have read a lot of helpfull advice.

I live in Gainesville, Florida. And have been working on armor off and on since 1991. Here are the last two helms I have made for people in the SCA.

The first is Roman out of mild steel. It is the first Roman helm I have made.

The second is based off of drawings of a Mongol helm and is done in stainless steel

Still working on learning photography so some of the color is off a little
