If you are good with art and can free hand paint your helmet symbols, go for it! I'm not lucky enough to be good at painting, so this stencil method was best for me. Keep an eye out for my full 101st Airborne D-Day and gear setup video where I will show everything else that goes along with this helmet to make my paratrooper impression!

I’ll bet 80% of the folks into this did scale modelling when we were kids. It was the start of a life long passion for WW2 in general and for me collecting. Cheers.

For some reason, I find your videos INCREDIBLY relaxing, I get lost in them and forget about everything else. So, thank you so much for making them, I really appreciate it.

@MGarandRiflemen 2 года назад

Looks good. Usually model/miniature paint Is the best whenever decals on helmets. Helmets weren't issued with insignia they were done by the soldiers themselves so I wouldn't be worried if the insignia is a little off

@jonthorton7540 Год назад

Nice to see young men like you doing this. It gives me hope for our future.

@generalamon Год назад

Maybe a good Advice for next decals: Paint the first layer with the maincolor of the helmet. Let it dry like it was your first layer of white then go ahead with white. The Maincolor should now drip on the edges (like your first white layer) so you dont have to clean the edges. Used this Technic a lot in Wallpainting - always worked for me.

Excellent work, as much as we Reenactors want the perfect finish, they originally did it on mass and quickly. Good job 👍🏻 Living History U.K.

That's a real good job. Didn't there but when I was growing up? I knew people that were my dad's friends that still had their helmets from a war too.

Peelable vinyl is best for stencils as it’ll stick to surfaces but will be able to be peeled with no residue left on top

I’ve just joined a group over in the UK which portrays the 101st 502nd and was wondering the best way to paint the heart on the M1 and your video really helped. Thanks very much mate. All the best from the UK 👍🏻👍🏻

I went to Winnipeg for D-Day 50th anniversary 1994 with minnesota national guard. To give support for our Canadian friends. (I was active at the time. A very emotional time for the Canadians. Winnipeg units suffered many casualties in the war.. the old canadian colone who had been at D-dayl said to us. "To my American friends, what can I say, I called an you are here" we all said "hoo-ah"....

@johnpedulla8210 Год назад

For future paint jobs I’d recommend using masking tape as it isn’t as stick as duck tape which might ruin the helmet finish and is much easier to work with

@penguin2071 2 года назад

Hey world war wisdom if I buy the paint from j Murray 1944 do I need to spray the whole helmet or can I use a paint brush? OD green. Would it look different if you use spray paint or a brush.

@WorldWarWisdom 2 года назад

It works much better if you spray it on, but you might be able to apply it with a brush depending on what you are doing. If you don’t want to use a spray gun, I’d recommend buying an OD green paint that comes in a spray paint can from someone like Rapco or Hessen Antique.

@WillF1980 Год назад

Better off painting the area white. Letting it dry. Then putting the heart sticker on. Then painting the helmet green again. Let dry. Then take of sticker leaving a white heart. Now ya know
