I have some questions about raising a helmet.
I am wanting to make a greek helmet, and do not want to buy a cheep Depeeka helmet as they look like buckets on peoples heads. I love Manning Imperial helmets, but with a 2 year waiting list I reckon I could probably make one myself within this time.
I have much metal dishing experience, simple forging and metal skills, but making a corinthian helmet poses some questions.
I will work with brass beasue where I live bronze is over priced.
Do you dish it like an oversized shield boss, or raise the helmet? What guage brass do you use, millimeters thick?
Any useful sites that may help?
Thanks in advance.

Let your warriors be your shield, and your horse be your saviour, for I will live to see another fight another day.
