The Armour Archive

Here's a couple of pictures of the pigface bascinet I've been working on. It still needs a lot of refinement and cleanup. The "ears" still need to be rolled and cut into hinges.

Dude, it looks lovely... raising or welding or both or either?

so that my feet may swiftly carry out thy command
And we shall flow a river forth unto thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be
In nomini patriath, fili, espritus sancti.

what pattern did you use for the helm top and the face

I knew I forgot to mention something.....

The helm itself is welded from 3 pieces.

The visor is raised from a welded cone. I used Cad's pigface pattern from the archive.

The helm pattern was drawn up to fit the clients head.

Now that I have hotworking capabilities I plan on starting to raise helms instead of welding.

I have searched for a good hig point bassinet partern for a long time but nobody could give me their pattern. Are you willing to share your? I just need the top part. You can write back to me at dlandry@qc.aira.com to let me know.

It would be appreciated a lot.

thanks.

did you make two halves on the face or bend one peice together and weld the bottom? ( the latter is much easier)

may want to consider taking 3/8 off the top portion of the visor.

looks cool

I LIKE IT. Handsome fella, needs some polishing. Good job so far.
