Good pics tomorrow. I made a change to it after Dave went home that made it pop a bit more, the face plate shows up a lot better. I have 6 or seven helmets waiting to get put up tomorrow, so I know where I'll be working. :lol:

The eyes on that almost look like a Corinthian, very cool and classic looking helm.

Well get the thing on your site so those of us who are standing around waiting for something like that can see if we can keep it from making it to Estrella. :D

Nice work.

Take care and be well,

I want, I want, I want. BUT we are barely going to make it to the war. However, my wife said that if I make enough money playing poker, then I can get it (after we pay off the student loans first!).

C-ya all at Estrella! :wink:

Velund,

I have some pictures of it, more are always good. It isn't meant to be a replica, but a helmet for sca sports fighting that has a basis in the original and a certain "hot rod" sensibility.

Tristan, it's too cool for you...
