Thank you Bonnie! The helmet has quite a good fit with a thick felt pilos underneath. But this was the case with its original owner too,so I guess I'm lucky in that one,too. Perhaps if I had slightly longer head it would fit better without the pilos. But the ancients some times wore thick felt caps (I know they were thick from sculptures from the Aphaia temple I think) so I'm not inaccurate in that one.
Stefanos, I'm very worried about the shield,mainly because I'm thinking of trying extreme -for me- thing on that piece,too. But first of all I need time (and tools) which I don't know I'll have even in summer. I should have started that project from the previous summer...
