This is another great helm I got from a friend a while ago. I painted it and instead of painting the weathering, I weathered it by beating the abaokute shit out of it. Due to the cheap nature of this helm, it had the wrong shape to it. Instead of tapering, it was completely flat on the bottom making it sit almost down to the shoulders if you lined the occularium up with your eyes.
Also, the way it was shaped, the opening tapered narrower than it should be, and putting it on with an arming cap and maille coif was nearly impossible and had to be forced on.
So I had to cut a portion of the bottom off at a taper, and now it fits great with the padded and maille coif.
Looks good man
Thanks!
