Making a Brass helmet
#16
Cool helmets Wes, the leather one kinda reminds me of a Migration era spangenhelm.
The brass one looks like it could be modified into a Coolus E Big Grin .
Modify the spike into a crest knob, remove the rivets around the base and, braze the holes, braze on a new neck guard, make a brow guard and, cheek guards and, you have a Coolus E.

Whoops, must've missed that. It does have the right look, just needs a flatter neck guard and, loose all those rivets.

For a Coolus type, make the "bowl" and, neck guard and your half done.
