Hi folks,
I'm looking for a little help with a helmet.  Specifically a Knight's helmet.  I can create lots of hat balloons but this one is giving me a little trouble.  The best I've come up with so far is a grey Darth Vader mask Don Caldwell style.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!  I plan to do the mask in silver (preferably 260's) when I get a desing together!

Thank you for any help,

Brett

P.S.  I did look at the St. George's Day posts and they were great.  However I'm not looking for a full figure, just a wearable helmet.

I'm sure I posted a knights helmet in Silver on here somewhere, just did a search but with no luck.

there is a picture in my bhq portfolio of a knight that might give you an idea.

if that link didn't work...go to bhq and type in photo # 54317.

I think this could be modified into a hat without too much trouble.  If I get a chance I'll give it a try in the next week or so.
Until then, I hope it helps.

Thanks so much for you input.  You've given me some good ideas here!  I'm making progress!  My apologies for listing this request and then leaving town for a few days! The busy season is upon us!  Lots of library shows ahead!
