Hi Xander

Not done, I took a break on it like Egfroth suggested. I did a little more on the nasel last night. I might be able to finish it by next week. This is the nasel just leaning against it pic and my work bench.

Xander I have given up on the cross type nasel. I just can not seem to get it right. I will do a plain nasel like yours. I would like to put the maile drape on it though. It sure is going to be heavy. I am thinking I have a display helm under construction here.

I hope it is ok with you I posted your pic of your helm. I thought the others would enjoy it like me. If not I can delete it.

Does your nasel realy bend inward? Or is it the pic light.

I just got my helm from David at Fireside armoury, and it looks very much like the one Xander made. Very cool, trying to add the liner and having some problems...
I'll post pics once complete, as well as a review of FS armoury (may do that today).
This is for a horse show I have this weekend, doing it in 12C. knightly gear (as close as I can get together anyway!!).
