Well that helm has changed several times over the years, it started out as a dragon helm like most have already noticed
. I'm proud to say that its current state is concrete, the only changes that I 'might' do to it, would be to paint it a flat black, instead of gloss...

Thanks !! I was looking at a key and thought "Hey that would look really awesome as a Nose Guard.." So I gave it a try on this helm, and surprisingly it worked nicely, though I need to trim it a little so his bread will fit...

Nice to see some more customs from you. The red/black guy looks good, the helmet reminds me of the back of the dragon helm, is that what you used?
The viking helmet looks great too, although the horns look a little wonky.

Ah! So thats what it is, I was trying to work out what is was. Very effective, and as for the beard problem.. try trimming the top of it down a little and it should look ok.
Jon.
hehe Thanks, yup thats what the helmet be, well 'was' is more like it
....hmm, I tried doing my best on the horns, I even made them detachable, how are they wonky ?

But Willa the Witch torso?!?
The usual comments on the "viking" helmet - not particularly viking. Maybe I'd be more enthusiatic if it was called a "fantasy viking" helmet. However, for what it is intended, the horns and helmet are nice - it's the nasal that I don't care for. Neither the shape or the size.
I will try and take a few better pictures of the helm tomorrow, maybe if I can get some flat black spray paint, that might help to reduce the glare...
Well he's suppose to have a very slender physique, I'm really surprised no one noticed before what torso I was using, his altar ego "
Dark Sun" has the same torso..
Any suggestions for the nasal ?

My sentiments exactly. From what I can see, it looks good, but it's really hard to tell.

I was wondering why your knight had such a beautiful hour-glass figure. Is he wearing a corset into battle?
shhh, don't tell anyone, (just kidding), but seriously he's suppose to have a slender physique like Alexander from 'Reign The Conqueror'...

It actually makes some sense. The purpose of the later wasp-waisted plate armor that actually existed was so that the torso-armor would sit on top of padding on the hips and transfer the weight to the hips and off the shoulders. Don't know if that's what was intended, its just that no one seems to have noticed the choice of torsos.
