High crests

High crest example:

Wonderfull! :o

Sadly I can't do one on time!

Why not? If I can complete Phil's shield in the next two months, I would have thought a man of your calibre could make a bloomin' crest, for gawd's sake!

OK! let see what I can do, sheet plate is quite cheap.

BTW: how your guys paint their Kranoi (helmet)? like in black, as potery vase shows in scales & checkers?

I meant what kind of pain they use & with what they apply it? air-broch or ?

I will like to know how muchcost the one corinthian helm, the one you post in the festival next to me? it look the righ size, when you put it as Pericles, the tip of the cheeks ends in your forehead, that is the way to go.

Well, that's the spirit, soldier!

We don't paint our kranoi. Ask Athanasios what he used.

Kranoi like that go for around £100 - $175. It may still be possible to get them cheaper, if you shop around.

I was curious after viewing the excelent armor and genuine style of the Spanish Hoplites from Zaragoza if they have a website or if there are any other great photos of them? Please let me know. Many thanks Sincerely Konstantine

About 12 years ago, way before any repro stuff was on the market , I got a Corinthian that was cast, and a bit too heavy and large to wear. I darkened the lower cheek pieces, brow and back with bronze blue. I did this in several coats and did not wipe the residue off like the instructions say to do. When it dries it leaves a blackish matt finish. I will impose on Hplite 14gr to post a pic I just took of three helmets, an Albion Corinthian, the older one with the bronze blue, and a Tracian. If Stefanos will be so kind.

Very nice! What a pity you can't come and wear them at Watford!
But perhaps when we hold a festival in Greece?

Paul, I'd suggest you host them at Photobucket.

Photobucket doesn't seem to be able to cope with the biggest picture - and I can't work out how to use it! It tells me to copy a code, which I can't find anywhere.

If you ever get some spare time I can help you, in Thermopylae maybe.
You may need to resize ( ) pictures sizes of which are larger than 500 kb.

Susanne, yes, I think so.

Stefanos, I can't e-mail the biggets one and some of the smaller images are failing to load, too.
