hello
few weeks ago I made my first helmet in this type
this one is based by the exemple from Mstislav
it's made in 2mm construction (black) steel in 2 raised halfs - welded togheter

the shape is a bit differend than in oryginal ...it for customer's head fitting
I'm not specialist in this kind of the helmets ...but I hope it looks not so bad (?)

It looks exceptionally good. The curve at the bottom of the helmet doesn't look exactly the same as the one you were using for your model, but that isn't terribly important. Tens of thousands of sallets were made, and the variations were numerous.
I'd like to see a front view.
VERY nice.

) yet elegant lines, thanks for sharing!

great thanx for everyone for the complements
as I said I'm not specialist in the case of westen late-medieval helmets ...and sometimes is very hard for me to find some right way of making for this kind of the stuff
