So inspirational! I love grand bascinets!

Jiri,

Now that is very nice! Good job. I think it turned out very nice. With all the changes uyou had to make learning the ins and outs of the Great bascinets you have done very well.

Stu,

What more can I say. Lucky guy!

I have several pieces as exchangable lower parts for helmets greaves ect. It works fine for me although AO rig is probably quicker.

Jiri

Not to hijack the thread but...is it possible to seem more pics of the t-Rex setup.? I have the identical burner but have not set it up yet.

Stu, that hat is so sweet you'll get a toothache when you wear it :wink:

Heres a pic of my Innsbruck Sallet Jiri just sent me. This will be a copy of one possibly owned by Gaudenz, Vogt von Matsch. By Jorg Wagner circa 1480-90[img]http://members.aol.com/ottokits/james-hat1.jpg[/img]

Hi Doug,

There was a topic about it recently, probably lost in the data-fire.. So make a new topic, I will willingly post there or e.mail me for photos.

Otto, thank you for the description of the sallet, I bet hardly one could see it in the picture now:-)

Randall, thank you for the support.

all the best

Is that the one shown the the Chruburg reprint as CH S62?
If so excellent choice in helmet!

I have one made by Patrick Thaden and Kreiger.
I can't wait to see the progression on yours.

Hi Otto

Hee hee, yes the GB is most certainly lookin good!

Jiri has made a great start on your sallet, wow! look at the thickness of the steel blank, :shock:

that must be hard to work.

Do you have a pic of the original sallet you would be able to attach please? I'm really interested to see what the extant helm looks like.

Many thanks in anticipation.

I just hope Jiri doesnt wear himself out making these hats!

Jiri Klepac · Post by **Jiri Klepac** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 5:11 am

No problem Otto, it is fun to make theese. The blank is not so thick. It looks from the edge, but is it a bit deformed from the forging. The original thickness was 2,5 mm. In mild nice to move.

Enrico, I have seen your hatÂ´s pictures. it is in stainless, right? Very nice in my opinion! Since seeing this I was looking forward to try my own. I hope my copy wonÂ´t be pissing on the old MasterÂ´s graves...

I'm sure the old masters would smile and give you a pat on the back. The ghost of Wagner is probably peeking ovvver your shoulder as I type this saying," Ya, Das ist sehr gut!"

Jiri sent me the pics of the finished, raised Great Bascinet today, complete with full internal liner and mail drape.

I am overjoyed with the piece, it's simply superb, here are the pics:

Otto von Teich · Post by **Otto von Teich** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 7:28 pm

Thats one of the finest reproductions I've ever seen, and of a not often copied type. And you'll be able to see pretty well too. Bravo!
