Greetings, Oh poor (but true) followers of my blog!, but rather colleagues and fellow members herreristicos adventures: P
you have not put a decent tutorial, so today, because I have pictures and then a long wait came to do
but I wanted to do something special, so, since itching to work on, I go too work and so far I have followed, if anyone is interested follow
yahoo! Slavonic helmet! ! !
you see, it all started with the fact that he was tired of the spangenhelms so I wanted to do something different and give a more motley collection of helmets my xDD, so I looked for pictures and found this among had already long ago ... little by little like I grab the helmet and just finished the previous I started with this.
Well, first thing is first of all take action, what I did was measure my head ciercunferencia, to give Qurie qu size helmet, divide by four panels and add 2 centimentros per panel (one per side) to have space riveted, followed by height, which gave me about 20 inches and then cut the sheet.
far sige simple, no?
the next step is to sink the plate to give the concave shape, is that there are ways to explain it better than mine, but I will anyway; The most necessary is to have a tree stump, which is has made a concave hole with a hammer that over and sink the metal (using a mallet and a half kilo with the rounded and polished, just in case, is quite comfortable).
the sagging starts from the edges of the plate, always, if you do not end up with some wrinkles metal could barely get the red metal, with luck (well, maybe I'm exaggerating, but it is a good choice xD). from there it moves toward the center of the piece to be finished first sunk, which is always very irregular.
then given a second pass through the hole and ends by flattening all the irregularities in the flat on the stump, resulting in a quite acceptable piece endings.
thru is finally beginning to bear caracateristicos aspects of his helmet. in the photo above you can see the marks I made in the panel and flat and where there would be cut.
todabia for now it looks pretty mundane aspect (xDD I like that word xD). to give this strange ornament that looked at the edges of the original photo Prove banging on the metal on the stump with a pointed tool punch, giving mastante look similar, it was only a matter of repeatedly hitting a line and voila, here it is better to use a hammer more Thin, not sink much punch and power to make several shots in a row.
(also in the photo looks like it lacks a bit of sandpaper xDD case was not very neat in that regard xDD). Well, here the problem is all the time it entails, I think it's the helmet that more work has involved me so far, perhaps only surpassed by the former, especially over the issue of the dots xD, which fortunately is only done in 2 xDD panels. as these clog the others.
then is drilled, it is siemple, one not lost on the site xD tools is done in two main panels and then marked on the side. any So, until I arrive here today, it's late and I think a good time to leave the matter up here xD
the bulk of the helmet is already over, but even I have to fix some photos to be a little more explanatory and continue xD with the remainder of the hard work
xD mmm nomas
that for now
Greetings to all who pass
and for those who are not already common, not afraid to post xD
