Outstanding Jeff! Just what I was hoping for. Actually that one you had as an avatar was a little bit of alright too.

This would go best with a Crusader/Templar/Hospitiler sticker and not a suit of plate armour, just to have a bit of historical accuracy you know :wink: .

I love it. I suppose BF attendees will have first crack? Save one for us out here on the West Coast!

Colors? - more than one, I'm sure.

How many? - It hasn't been finalized yet, so you might see the new armor/helms on their own...

If you're going for the 1200s into early 1300s look, sure.
Great helms, not too different from this style, where used
well into the late 1300s and on, for tournaments. So using
one with plate is still accurate.

Keep in mind that the pic you've seen is ONLY a first draft, with
no detail. It has already changed for the better.

When can you show us the finished project on the mini-fig? And what will be the price? Thanks.

1) I have a question about the visor.Is it compatable with regular lego helmets? :? Just curious.
2)I'd also like to see plume wholes on the sides and on top.

EDIT:just read what you said earlier:
"This helm will probably be part of a set, which will include 2
other helms, a (viking)shield, and new (Gothic)armor."
Could you please make this pack in Black or Chrome Silver?Please?*Begs*

1 - There is no visor on this helmet.

2 - Plume hole will only be on the top. There might also
be a clip-on "torse", or wreathlike twisted roll, for the top
of the helm. This piece would really look good for tournament helms.
