Great work. Top notch restoration.

Parabéns 👏👏👏. Saudações do Brasil.

Wow! Beautiful.

I think that's a first class restoration.

God I love the m42’s

I love these videos and thanks for posting them

Brilliant job mate, the end result was exceptional.

great job! since you are using water based decals there are solutions that you apply them over the decal and soften it so that it sticks better to the surface. you can find these solutions in hobby stores that sell plastic models

Another great video. They're so relaxing. Do you have any tips on how to tell if one is an original or a fake stahlhelm as I have found some for sale in my country but aren't too sure if they're real or not?

Nice restoration 👍🏻👍🏻 it wil be Good for Another 100 years

Very good restouration.

PERFECT JOB Robbie TILLMANS COLLECTION

You make a big work! Thank you for it! Best wishes from Russia!

Amazing video

Perfect...thank you for sharing!!! 👍🏻

GREATB RESTORATION! Where'd you get the interior strapping/liner?

Wow, very nice 👌👌

I’m restoring an m40, I took the previous paint completely off as it was already pretty badly restored, now I have to repaint it, I bought day 1944 paint, I tried on the shell to see if it would hold on, but it doesn’t, I can scratch it off with my nails. Do you know if I have to use any sort of primer or what I should do to make it work?

great video

beautiful

I do restorations as well but I'm new at it what is the best in your opinion the top rust remover

Amazing job

Great work... As it is an M42, (I do not mean to be rude or picky) , the color should be "Field Grey" instead of what seems to be "Apple Green" (as used in early M35s). Also I am sure you realised that the chinstrap has been mounted with the black-side on the wearer's skin... and it should be the other way around. I could also suggest the drawstring (as it appears on the video) should be replaced with one that would resemble the original ones a little more. However, you have done a truly great job restoring this piece of history. Congratulations on your workmanship.

I'm amazed that something that old, especially if it was recovered from the ground cleans up as well as does. Nicely done Sir

Респект, немногие ресторатор ы способны на ютюбе из исторического Ничего сделать фунуционирующую вещь! Молодец!

It was very good ... Good job👍✋

What’s the correct variation of feldgrau to restore an m40 heer made in quist?

Do you have any color code for that spray or it is just some dark green spray?

Where do you buy that linner

How much does it cost your restored helmet?

Gute Arbeit.

@WWII Tube Restoration i have the same helmet, like conditions, the metal is in good condition but it was painted yellow by the previous owner and has now rusted under the paint, how can I make it the same as it was 70 years ago?

Excelente trabajo. Felicidades. Disculpa la insolencia no lo vendes. Saludos.

Браво. Как всегда, шикарная работа. Всегда с нетерпением жду Ваши видео. Желаю крепкого здоровья и успехов в работе.

Nice one! Why did you mix the talcum through the paint? For texture?

Where did you buy the leather interior of the helmet?

What is the process you used at first to make it black? I am trying desperately to find that color

Great job! I have a WW2 German helmet size Q68 - it needs a new liner.. where did you get yours? Thank you!

Отличная работа лайк

Where did you purchase the AL203 aliminium oxide powder?

Great restoration! I was wondering what kind of putty substance you used to patch the rust holes?

I must say helmet Germany very beautiful

très bien rendu mais vous ne mettez pas l'autre calco de l'autre côté ?

Where did you get the decal from?

Love the content 👁👄👁

any reason that you bogged up the holes in the top instead of just welding and grinding them?

I'd like one

исходник был шикарный, результат тоже не плох!

A true work of art. Exceptional! Including the chemistry lessons.

WOW PERFECT WORK !! WELL DONE Robbie U.K

I just bought a ww1 m17 that’s been in the ground for so long it’s rusted but not bad enough.what did you use to fill in the rust craters?

Can you please tell me where you get the new stickers from?

Quedo hermoso pero perdió su valor original historico

Can i use baking soda or sand instead of aluminium oxide?

Hello my friend, very good restouration you have here, I’m trying to restore an m42 Helmet to, could you maybe give me som advice?

Супер

I have one I want to do a new color you Which color do you use?

Tell me if i am wrong but i found a lot of german helmet that looks like that with almost no paint or just not at all and the helmet always have the same tone so im thinking maybe they are burnt because allies after the war put a lot of german equipment in holes in the ground and burnt it, if people can explain to me it would be nice

Wowe !!!

Amazing!! Out of interest, how many man-hours involved here?

Very nice, I really like the texture paint too. However I have some positive criticism to add.. the chinstrap was put on backwards I'm afraid. And I might sound like a stickler but I would have textured the split pins before adding them. I probably would have aged the liner as well but that's just me, im weird like that, sorry. But it probably fares a little better than before anyway!🙄

What is that powder you use to make the rough texture? Is it sand?

How much "mashing" time in edetate disodium does it take? One hour or a few? Or perhaps it needs to be kept overnight to achieve the oxide demotion? Please, clarify it.

Hi, what kind of finish do you apply? matte, semi matte or gloss for the spray. Thanks

Can I buy it?

I love the m38s and SS m40s

Which type of gallon is used here for measuring, the US or the Imperial gallon? It's clear that 2 lbs = 907.2 grams approximately (for al the people that uses the metrical decimal system of measurements).

Like a surgeon....nice helmet

А почему нет второй декали флажка?

Fucking good job!

Just started watching your videos. I love what you are doing! After watching a few, I was wondering how much human dna must be spackled around these helmets in the form of sweat in the chin straps, dandruff everywhere, and other, more gory content that may be all over the helmet. Just out of curiosity, can a '23 and me' test be done on the helmet somehow? It would be interesting at the very least. Godspeed!

Ein super Video. Wo bekomme ich denn so ein Wasserzeichen ( Wasser Aufkleber) her 😁. 👍👍👍👍👍

Hi! I'm 13 and I am new in the world of the Militaria and restoration! I'm going to buy my first helmet (a German helmet) and, if the condition are bad, going to restore it. I've got some questions for you and, if you can reply, you will help me a lot: what are the tools and the products that you used? Can you quickly describe the use of less knowed? Where can I buy them? Thanks a lot and sorry for my bad English!

Darth vader breathing with mask

you removed so much original paint and it was already in great condition

Wasn´t there also a black white red crest on the side?

Oh my god, the comments are not deactivated??? WOW.

Где взять такие же наклейки??? И подшлемник???

ein helm restauriert mit gesichte. 👍

Интересно,сколько стоит такая работа?

Bello come restauro di un vecchio pezzo d'acciaio. Ma terribile per quello che rappresenta. Chissà si in una delle tante crudeli foto che vediamo youtube è stato il feroce protagonista. Quindi è da condannare senza appello. Conclusione lasciamo il passato al passato nel suo oblio. Speriamo che il futuro ci preservi da simili tragedie mondiali. Almeno lo spero se, non per me, almeno per i nostri nipoti. Nice as a restoration of an old piece of steel. But terrible for what it represents. Who knows in one of the many cruel photos we see youtube is the fierce protagonist. So it is to be condemned without appeal. Conclusion We leave the past to the past in its oblivion. We hope that the future will preserve us from similar worldwide tragedies. At least I hope so if, not for me, at least for our grandchildren.

Though some kept the eagle

late war helmet...unlikely to have decal on the side. I would use Millie putty to fill holes it is very strong and can be sanded.

Restoration? It looks nice. But say farewell to market value.

Why no primer?

Is that a stahlhelm or a falshirmjager helmet

I personally hate restored helmets I prefer them rusted in relic condition
