Very impressive, i'm glad you kept most of the original parts. So far i've been only restoring post war reissue german helmets from czech or norwegians.
Great video in my opinion. I've actually got me a relic M35 shell coming from Slovenia that is rusted but appears to be in very good condition to restore myself, hope I can find some numbers in it after I clean it well. Again thank you
Hello, thank you for comment :) I have a list, write the number in the comment and I will try to check which formation it belonged to. Soon you will see more helmets in my channel :)
hello, regular acrylic paint for painting pictures in burnt umber color. The whole helmet is washed. But on top there are simply more layers to make shading and the effect of age and paint abrasion. soldiers often sat on helmets which caused excessive paint abrasion. take a cup or jar. squeeze some paint out of the tube. add a little water. mix thoroughly so that the paint dissolves in the water. if the color is too dark, add more water. it has to look like you painted with tea. I apply it with a brush and drain the excess with a kitchen paper towel. use a hair dryer so that the paint dries quickly. you can apply several layers to get the desired effect. if your paint is too light, you can add a little black to it.
Paint was mixed based on the original color What kind of vanish you mean? There is no vanish on this helmet :) to make it old, Iused brown wash technique with normal acrylic paint.
Hello, right now I am repainting German m35 helmet, I sprayed snow camo on the helmet, do you have any tips, how can I age the liner and the helmet overall?
Hello :) You can age the liner with leather blacker or rust dust..You can use also WD40 to make it darker. Use g2000 sandpaper on the edges. I will make a video about liner and camo. Before applying the camo, you can use something greasy on the helmet in various places. When it dries, the paint will come off from the greasy places. There will be a chipped paint effect. Than you can try delicate black wash.
@@Eric_Von_Yesselstyn unfortunately I don't agree with that. there is no difference from the outside. absolutely none. inside the rivets are so small that after painting and inserting the liner you can't see the difference. If you will left messanger contact i will send you a photos of ,,fake" and oryginal vemts. Try to guess witch is witch :)
@@WW-2ube Back side of the vent inside the shell, you sure can tell, not slightly flared, just straight... Unless you glop the paint on it there, you won't be able to hide it.
This is so well done love how you aged it after
Thank you, soon more helmets :)
@@WW-2ube ok 👍

Very nice job. The Germans put a coat of clear laquer over the decals, that is why you see most of the decals still on original helmets.
Incredible work ))))))))))))))))))
Thank you :)
Thanks
What for a acrylic burnt umber do you use ?
Do you use wash only on the Top of the Helmet ?
And how do you mix your wash ?

Hi where did you get the replacement vents please
Hi, Hi, I bought it at an auction a while ago. I think I still have some in stock. If you're interested, I can send it to you for the price I paid.
Where did you get the paint and the vanish?

@@WW-2ube Thank you, your help is very much appreciated, if you want, I can send you some pictures of how the helmet turned out after completion
Of course, tell me how to find you by facebook or messanger.
@@WW-2ube do you have a ig?
My restored m16 helmet horns air vets arr shacky , how can i fix it with glue?
You can use glue a little bit inside, but in M16 horns are big. You schould use front part of hammer inside helmet, to hammer down air vents.
@@WW-2ube please make a tutorial to put the name on the german stahlhelm
@@Dam_ramsa__ it's not that difficult. type "Swabacha font" into Google. you take a small modeling brush and just paint.
Отлично восстановил...и состарил👍
Where did you buy the decals?
Hello,
I have almost all type of decals. If you need something please leve your contact. I will definitely answer. E-mail or messanger.
Здравствуйте что за средство которым вы наносили эфект ржавчины
Hello :) as I wrote in the video. paint with water. color burnt umber. Brown wash technique.
😮
Just gluing the vent in is a big "NO".
Please read the video description. At home without the use of special tools.
@@WW-2ube The vents never look right when "glued" in and not pressed in.
So it' still a big no..

I believe I'm gonna leave my original vent holes in place, clean them the best I can.
