Leather mohawk! (only 3 pics)

Postby Iorek » Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:04 am

So this was a helm I started last year, it got put on the back burner for a bit but I found the pieces and finished it up. It originally was supposed to be based off of nightmare's helm from soul calibur but I took it a more Uruk direction.

Don't worry the uneven paintlines were intentional!

Very nice!
I notice that the chin strap is secured by a double ring fastener- how does the work out in battle? I would imagine that it would shake loose, especially with such a heavily armored piece like yours, after a few hits.

It actually secures quite nicely the leather doesn't slip out of the rings.
