Got a new helmet! Love the way it looks with this armor

I'm already working on modifying it.

I added the nasal between the eyes in the visor.

After pic

Adding a plume holder soon, a strap and will be painting it to match the rest of my armor.

Very happy with it!

You look great while going to work!
... BTW what is it that you do for life? Hunting bounties?
- Mostly side-quests, adventuring. If a bounty is worthwhile I might run'em down.

I liked your newest yt vid it was pretty funny.
- Thank you. It's appreciated.
How do you get your head in? The neck-thing looks tight.
- So fun fact! This type of helmet is a type of "closed helm" called an Armet which has cheek plates that open up and close around your neck. This portion of the helmet that protects your neck and chin is called a "bevor".
  Here it is opened up.
  The other type of closed helm, simply called a "close helm" has the bevor and visor attached to the same hinge like this example:
Hey! Henry's come to see us!
- I'm sorry I don't get the reference. I might be stupid or tired.

I love your christmas tree ornaments.
- My magic balls. (The secret ingredient is malibu and vodka)
I love renn faires
- Me too. Favorite place in the world. If I were wealthy enough, I'd travel around and follow it around.
Pretty awesome! How's your vision?
- Surprisingly good!
  Did a whole short film in it with some (minor, will get better with time) fight coreography.
  Very impressed.
  Here's the shortfilm in question

  I wish I had the kind of friends I could do things like these with, looks like a lot of fun!
  
  Well done! That was fun.
  
  Well done, great jokes, lots of subtle references, love it!

I was about to say it's too shiny, you need to rub some dirt on it or something, then I saw you said you're painting it to match.
Looks awesome!
- Lol yessir! Like my other helms and props as well!
  
  Those are fucking awesome!
You need a dent like Boba Fett...no but for real, that's pretty sweet.
- Lol. There was a mandalorian helmet I was working on a long time ago. I decided to persue medieval costuming instead tho.
Looks awesome! But I think you also need something to cover your balls. Like a sack. omg this pun is going too far :)
If you need to move around faster, you could see about getting a squire to follow you bashing some coconut halves together. I hear it can be quite effective, if you can get your hands on one, that is.
