Yeah, not bad work at all! Things like that crest ridge can be a major pain, no mistake, so congrats on yours. When I end up with an extra hole where I don't want it, I just stick a rivet in it and call it even. Did that on my own Late Roman helmet, in a couple places. Looks fine.

Only other critique I'd add is that the holes around the rim were more likely for stitching or lacing (for an edging/lining), since there are never any rivets found in them on original helmets or fragments. (If I'm remembering correctly!)

Keep up the good work!
