As someone who portrays Fallschirmjäger, this is a very useful video. Original helmets are way too expensive for most people so we always have to deal with reproductions, most of which are not great from factory.

@jemand-6594 10 месяцев назад

Any recommendations on which helmet to buy?

@Hans-1917 10 месяцев назад

@@jemand-6594 all the brand new ones I've seen (that aren't really high end repros) are all the same. FJ-Werke makes high end ones that are real expensive, but he takes ages and is an arse to work with

@jk-76 10 месяцев назад

I have one. Found it in an old barn. My heart skipped. Most of the webbing was there but some was chewed by a rat.

@FrenchTaunter12 10 месяцев назад

Another interesting "add-on" is a shoe lace tied into the helmet liner. Some paratroopers used it to fix the helmet to the equipment if not worn. There's an interisting foto in the "German Paratroopers" books from the Zeughaus Verlag. Also, sometimes the liner screws got lost during combat and were replaced by the older types afterwards. You can find pictures taken on Crete (and later as well) showing helmets lacking one screw. Taking out a screwcould add to the look of a battlefield-tested helmet (or paining a screw in a slightly differend color).

I like your Channel ❤ You are the reason why I started collecting ww2 relics.I learned a lot from you. I have two MK 2 helmets and a German m35 helmet in bad condition in my collection and I have a lot of ww2 Equipment. Keep up the good Work and stay healthy😃. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪😊

@TheGrinbery 10 месяцев назад

Very nicely done, i know i would have fallen for them if i didt know they are replicas xD Just a small suggestion next time you make a "re-issued" helmet, kick and throw it before you recolour it. It adds even more texture and makes it a bit easy to fake the "over the years" abuse. It also looks a bit more natural

@Fogel505 10 месяцев назад

@f.k.burnham8491 10 месяцев назад

A tip for shaking your paint cans: Use a reciprocating saw (Sawzall) with a long blade. Put the can in parallel with the blade and attach it to the blade with 2-4 plastic cable ties. Turn the saw on a lower speed and the can will really mix itself well. This takes maybe 1-2 minutes max. . I have seen potentiometers using the almost identical nuts to those used on the helmet. Nice job on the helmets. Can you make a replacement liner using a chamois skin cleaning cloth? They are the same color as the one in the helmet.
