Helmet crest question - le Cavalier Invisible - 04-11-2008
Another random question from me: :oops:
lol: How were the crests on, for example, merovingian helmets, placed/held in place? I can understand the way "roman" crests work, but just can't seem to figure out how it would work with the later models (with just a tail attached to the top).. :oops:
@Garrelt: maybe you can tell how you did it at yours? I mean, it wasn't there when you bought it, right? :roll: :wink:
Greetz,

Pull a strain of hair, tie it into a knot and pull, then attach the crest holder to the helmet.
Or if you can't pull the hair through the pipe, push it through with the knot not yet tight, then pull to tighten it?
Just some ideas, but I'm sure other methods exist.
