Competition - Win a Greek Hoplite Helm!

I will give a sexy, new hoplite helm to the person who creates the best Ancient Greek costume by the end of this year*. Post your picture here (or PM me if you want to keep it a secret).

I will judge the costumes based on how good they look from five paces, so non- historical materials and assembly methods are fine.

  • you’ll have to pick it up though

…and this is the helmet…

The New Year is just around the corner and I haven’t had anybody actually enter yet, which means it shouldn’t be too hard to win :smiley:

If we win the competition do we have to take the helmet? :wink:

ouch

Sorry dude, but honestly it’s not appealing to me. The nasal and eyes and crest are great, but the chin & mouth & top section take away from the Boba Fett-ish Hoplite/Corinthian coolness.

I’m sure it’s a matter of beauty being the eye of the beholder and all. Usually love your work, and haven’t seen this in person. Also, having just moved on a large amount of gear from my place I’m relishing not having to store hardly anything, but that probably makes me unusual.

I’ve got thoughts and plans rolling for some nice Hades kit. But I think that everything I make (and any prizes won) will probably be donated straight to the LARP Society.
