Very useful - and you could go crazy and adapt the collar to make Time Lord robes if you wanted.

So, can you do instructions for helmets?

There are lots of different types of helmet. What did you have in mind?

Norman flat-caps and medieval great-helms look easy enough. Something medieval and more complex?

Like a Bascinet?

Curved helmets are complicated. With a piece of metal, you can dome it with a ball-peen hammer; SCAdians commonly make a Bascinet in two halves, beat them into shape and weld them together up the middle. With cardboard or foam rubber you need to cut darts into the outside edge of each piece to get the final shape, and to do that you need a physical model. Once you've been through a few drafts you get a final pattern, and then it's trivial, but it's the pattern that takes all the time.

Very cool! :)

Thanks. It's not elaborate, but it would be relatively easy to produce a dozen (sans collar etc) in the service of villainy.
