15th Century Gothic?

Post by Condottieri »

I'm working on constructing a German Gothic harness. Now I have everything planned out except for the helm. I've looked for pictures so I can get an idea of what I want design I want to try for. Unfortunatly I haven't been able to find any. So now I'm asking for some help. If anyone has any sites that they know of or pictures they have, I would greatly apritiate it if you could help. All I really need are helm pics.

Thanks for helping.

Are you looking at an armet or a sallet?

Patrick Thaden posted a beautiful German Armet about a month ago.

Are you on broadband? I know of a ftp site where you can download some excellent armour books.

It can be basicly any helm that would fit the catigory. I'm just wanting to get good ideas to choose from so that I don't find something a week after I'm done and go "Ooooh thats nice, I wish I made that one instead." Even though I know that will happen no matter what.

If you can get those books, there are some excellent pictures there.
