My grandfather was force conscripted into German army. After he built his house after coming back, he used a german helmet for 40 years to empty out the septic tank. I asked him to give it to me after sewer renovation in the 90’ and he went into a rage fit over it. That thing disappeared soon after that. I never saw it again. Last I remember it was still in quite a good condition. Much better than the one in the video.
Honestly, the condition of the steel at the start looks to be way too far gone but what an awesome job of reviving it. Did you use artist oil paints for the camouflage?
Another asinine comment. Did you watch the video at all? All the Lefranc & Bourgeois oil paints seen @13:20 says Huile, which is French for Oil. And yes they are artist oil paints. It's not oil paints from the dollar store. This particular brand comes from the biggest manufacturer globally and it is the brand most used by both amateurs and professional artists.

Wow, this is amazing! You are very talented. Crazy how destroyed the helmet looked on beginning... Even if I don't like the paintjob too much tbh. It looks kinda weird... Kinda cartoony. But I would buy him from you!
Thought you were gonna sand down the camo paint job to a smooth finish but I suppose that's how it would of looked originally, outstanding work none the less...

Hi, I have a helmet like that just a little worn, but what I use it doesn't have to look so good, but it's fit for purpose. And I've never seen this artistic precision yet! WWII Tube Restoration so never stop videoing and the restoration of these beautiful historical objects! 👍
When a helmet is simply in a state which no value, historical or monetary is to be gained, such a restoration is perfectly fine to me, but if its in good condition, I quite prefer preservation, but bringing the helmets back into a condition worthy of the trenches, its quite nice, don't go drilling holes you shouldn't be drilling though.
For those concerned about the paint, this pattern of paint was actually used by the Germans in ww1 (there were official guidelines that made it look like this). Although, combining 2 original helmets to make a “new” one is quite questionable
I saw the first helmet, and was like, "Oh hell no, that thing is gone" then I saw the second one and was like, "okay, maybe not." I'm not the kind of guy to restore, I'm the kind of guy to chop metal things up and turn them into something new. Though I do make medieval armor.
Idk why everyone hates the paint so much it was used in ww1 and he probably did it because he couldn't have the original steel texture but Noone here seems to know that
Just a tip if ya welding thin metal if you hold a piece of brass behind the hole your welding your weld won't stick to it and you can fill the steel easier , plus it leaves it smoother therefore less fettling I've been doing this for years never failed ..
I realized that this German Nazi soldiers iron helmet, was first in the very worst shape ever. It had rust holes merely everywhere, even bumpy rust spots as well. 😳
Great Work! Excuse the ignorance, I am assuming the tortoise shell painting was camouflage? And the rough texture to the painting would avoid glints or reflections correct?
Camouflage paint was not formally introduced until July 1918, when German Army Order II, No 91 366, signed by General Erich Ludendorff on 7 July 1918, outlined official standards for helmet camouflage. The order stipulated that helmets should be painted in several colours, separated by a finger-wide black line. The colours should be relevant to the season, such as using green, brown and ochre in summer.
The fact you were able to restore what was practically scrap metal is crazy.
Props to you.
It lost all historical value this guy is a prick and is the type of person all historians hate
poor guy that weared it 100 years ago... now he can rest in peace i guess. good work!
Lol
Everything apart from the paintwork I'd say is totally brilliant
The paint is supposed to look like that, all the soldiers on the field painted them themselves it never looked professional
nothing brilliant about welding and body filler
Yeah I feel the same. They usually thinned the paint out with fuel if I’m not mistaken. Made it go on smoother but still visible brush strokes.
@@jackdozhier2151 I wouldn't say hes talking about it not looking profesional. The camo isnt really doing its job cuz the helmet is still giving off a bit of a shine wich the camo was meant to prevent
The colour palette is just plain wrong.
10 seconds, 20 tops before that's got a snipers bullet through it!
THEN, maybe, it would look authentic lol.
Congratulations! I think is totaly green more beautiful than many collors.
I guess they used to pain them just like he did for camouflage! 😊

An extremely well done restauration - but the camouflage paint at the end kind of ruined it.
@@tomrogerlilleby2890 its not really ruined when you can just paint over or remove it

This is an remake haha

Your profile pic is too cute 😋
I was dubious about restoring the helmet when it appeared to be little more than rust, but I'm mightily impressed.
Your work was great but the only thing I did not like was painting it. It would be more beautiful if you just painted the same army color.
Bro, that WAS the original army color. Towards the end of the war, just about every german soldier had a similar paint job.
I like it. Very smooth.
Здорово получилось!

I don’t care about what you say about the M1916
It’s still my favourite model of the Stahlhelm
Das ist absolut krass 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Tarnung wie Original... Klasse 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻. Eine der besten Restaurationen, die ich bisher gesehen habe ☺️
Very good job, but I feel the paint has been applied too thickly with lots of brush strokes - I can't see that on the original.
That's the way soldiers did it back in 1914-18.
I'd have kept it green and put some early SS decals on to create a transitional helmet
What a great restoration, and TRUE paintwork like the original might have had! 👍🇬🇧

I do agree with you on how that paintjob was goofy looking, however it is historically accurate.
Some parts are close to how I would’ve done it, others are completely out of my league, I wouldn’t even dream of it, very good work! 👏👏👏👏👏
Now you should age it, it is a little bit too bright on the colors, so... A little bit of combat wouldn't be bad for this helmet😉👌🏼
It's astonishing how you can restore anything from any condition. Awesome helmet!!
Thought you were gonna sand down the camo paint job to a smooth finish but I suppose that's how it would of looked originally, outstanding work none the less...

Tip when painting don't use a brush, use a cloth because it looks like it actually belongs on the helmet because it won't have brush marks.
