Helmet Repair
#1
I had to repair my helmet today, and I thought I would show the forum. It was a beginner repair. No tools involved.
I've attached two pictures, a before and after shot.

My helmet fell off my bookshelf onto the floor and the cheek piece was bent down the middle.[attachment=1:1rdnfb5j]<!-- ia1 P1010008-1.JPG<!-- ia1 [/attachment:1rdnfb5j] I thought I was going to need my anvil and hammer to repair, but I managed to rebend it around my leg.

The second picture is of me with my "repaired" helmet. It's definitely got a lot more character now.

I just thought to post about it to let those beginning re-enactors that repairs like this aren't too bad. The whole process took me ten minutes from start to finish.

Holy s**t mike LOL. I didn't see this thread...as long as the brass didn't get any weak spots that you'll have to anneal, it looks fine.

You need an armour stand too eh?

It sure does. Probably more like the real thing as well, after a bit of abuse. Big Grin
