helmet - pics

Post by Egfroth »

The latest addition to my helmet page http://www.geocities.com/egfrothos/JarslavHelm.html?1017181245050 - hope you like it. It's based on the helmet of Jaroslav Vsevolodovich, the father of the great Russian hero, Aleksandr Nevski.

Cool! Sweet helm. Nice job on the spike. Can you tell a bit about how you made it?

Bascot; probably a combination of both.

The spike is cast bronze. Basically I made the original specifically for that helmet out of plasticene (sort of modelling clay like you get at school) then got someone to cast it for me. If you want to buy one, I gave the rights (in a moment of weakiness of intellect) to Craig Sitch at Manning Imperial at http://www.manningimperial.com/ - the section on open face helmets. He sells them, and given the low value of the Aussie dollar compared with US, I think you'd find them relatively cheap. He also has spikes with a circular base, also originally made by me.
