Damn fine work Sir Gaston. I have done some repousse work and I know how hard it is to get the design to stand out 90 degrees from the background.

Now, when are you going to have another armor in so west coasters like me can see some of your new stuff?

Wow Gaston... that's spectacular!

Are you making this for your own use? How many hours work in a hat like that?

Few people have done early 14th century well... this is the nicest early bascinet reproduction I've ever seen!

For real? Repousse by numbers? or could you provide an actual title please?

Thank you.
IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m making it for me.
This is my first raised helmet, so the bowl took about 10 hours. ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s .050Ã¢â‚¬Â

Wow... truely inspirational. Thanks for posting that pic. I can't wait to see the finished kit!

I can't decide if it makes me feel totally stoked to learn how to do something like that, or totally depressed thinking I'll never be able to do it. Still, I'm so totally tickled folks are making such beauties.

Now we need to talk someone into making a Crecy movie so you can rent them that harness!
