…just finished building it
Cute!
It looks like the most safe helmet I’ve ever seen. Pretty much everything is covered.
Skull is 2mm mild steel
Brass on top and sides is 1.6mm
Brass spectacles are 3mm brass
Mail aventail is about 1.6mm (???) spring steel
Behind the mail is a hidden 1.6mm plate
Padding is > 13mm
SCA legal with only one ugly bar really visible.
I’ve offered it free to any of the Auckland Norse if they can defeat me in SCA combat, so I may not have it long

can you keep us updated as each duel unfolds, i am interested to see how long you hold it for.
Sure, here was the challenge I issued:
Snorri challenged me first and we went 3-2 (with a double kill).
Grim was second and that was 4-zip
The plan is to win half a dozen roses for Kelsie, every week for as long as I can
I think that the best plan for them would be to get at least four of them in armour and fight one after each other until I run out of puff at about bout 50-60

You really are just a big marshmellow like romantic aren’t you
Hallmark moment
" When you want to show your special someone how much you care, nothing says “I love you” like beating seven shades of Hades out of a few Norsemen."
all together now
AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
That’s a tough way to get some flowers. Very cute, though. Nice helmet.
I think that it’s every husbands duty to prove to his wife that romance is not dead, it is well armed and sweaty.
I hope you got a fair few roses out of the Norsemen. Maybe another challenge… It is almost Valentines day after all… lolz
Good point. I’ll have to lean on their ego and see if they’ll come and fight some more.
