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?
Yes I can tell the difference the m35 has folded edges and the air vents are separate pieces the m 40 has folded edges but the air vents are stamped on the m42 has stamped air vents and the edges are not folded
DON’T do What he does. You have to save the history of your helmet..if you want a perfect clean helmet go buy a reproduction! Clean it only with some oxalic acid and linseed oil
@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?
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.
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?
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
The red and white colours in the decal were found to attract enemy fire, so were ordered painted over prior to the France 1940 campaign. Many units, however, especially in the rear echelons didn’t overpaint theirs.
My friend from Russia sends me all spare part which I need. You can always buy on Ebay - www.ebay.com/itm/WW2-German-helmet-M35-M40-M42-aluminum-liner-with-leather-All-size/223652408158?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20180816085401%26meid%3D196fc3ee2514412cb267cb627774272e%26pid%3D100970%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D11%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D184026425483%26itm%3D223652408158%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100970.m5481&_trkparms=pageci%3Ab63e0c80-f8ff-11ea-bfe0-ae0450d15705%7Cparentrq%3A9cd0f7221740ad4e23cd33d4fffcabe8%7Ciid%3A1
Use drywall then sand it. Make sure to use light coats to thick. I would advise to sand it down then put the drywall smoothly over the whole helm. The paint Will make the drywall strong and you wont even tell. And for youre saftey please wear a mask and hold breath as it contains silica dust.
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.
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!🙄
Sir, if you are in the US or Canada you can look for “JB Weld” or “Epoxy resin” in your local auto parts or hardware store. When I get it collectors Guns that have bad exterior rust pitting I do the same process @46FreddieMercury91 did on this amazing M42.
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).
I wanna clarify every doubt that could have, because I would like to try this if I had the opportunity to buy a WWII Stalhhelm (whether is the M1935 used by other countries such as the Chilean Army) or the M1942, the latest from the original design used by the Wehrmacht during the last years of WWII, and briefly used by the nascent Bundeswehr from 1956.
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
I wonder how many German helmets were brought back by Allied soldiers after the war and still retain their finish? And how many were restored like this one? I used to have a low esteem for M42s because of their rough finishes but now that's all I'm picking up recently.
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!
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!

@@wwiituberestoration1011 Take it off then ! High quality fake helmets use spray on decals which if done right look almost perfect or just leave your helmet with no decal
www.dday-1944.com does superb realistic decals in original style and make. Its a French shop. But something else u can do with basic decals is cut your decal tight round black outline and brush a little thin glue on decal area and sprinkle metal dust shavings over it, then put decal on over it. A light sanding will make the metal shavings show through.

Wow !! You did a fantastic job of restoring this helmet !!
I enjoyed this video. It was satisfying to see this helmet being restored.
Brilliant job mate, the end result was exceptional.
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?
You need to paint it with a white or really light gray primer first
Nice restoration 👍🏻👍🏻 it wil be Good for Another 100 years
That’s what I love about helmets they could last hundreds of years
You make a big work! Thank you for it! Best wishes from Russia!
I'm only guessing this from your name and the 1 Russian class I've ever had the first name of your TH-cam username is artyom
God I love the m42’s
I love M42 Helmet too
The m42 helmet is my favorite helmet design
@@oatmeal7715 indeed, can you tell the difference between the m35 and the m40 stahlhelm? They both look identical but slightly different
Yes I can tell the difference the m35 has folded edges and the air vents are separate pieces the m 40 has folded edges but the air vents are stamped on the m42 has stamped air vents and the edges are not folded

fantastic your job congratulations 👏 🇧🇷

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?
Do what he does with his german helmets
DON’T do What he does. You have to save the history of your helmet..if you want a perfect clean helmet go buy a reproduction!
Clean it only with some oxalic acid and linseed oil
Tr3sA yeah, but reproductions have no markings and a weird shape, real ones are better.
Anton Jensen If you buy cheap repro there are no markings and no detail..but If you buy expensive replicas you got stuff identical to the original
Tr3sA but reproductions are very crappy
Where did you get the decal from?
@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?
Do you have any color code for that spray or it is just some dark green spray?
What is the process you used at first to make it black? I am trying desperately to find that color
Perfect...thank you for sharing!!! 👍🏻
Респект, немногие ресторатор ы способны на ютюбе из исторического Ничего сделать фунуционирующую вещь! Молодец!
Can you please tell me where you get the new stickers from?
Very good restouration.
Thanks bro

Sometimes factories ran out, and had to make do, and often times youll see alot of late war stuff with early war paint
Браво. Как всегда, шикарная работа. Всегда с нетерпением жду Ваши видео. Желаю крепкого здоровья и успехов в работе.
Where did you purchase the AL203 aliminium oxide powder?
Where did you buy the leather interior of the helmet?
You can buy on Ebay. I get leather interior from my friend from Russia
WWII Tube Restoration can you please share link?
What’s the correct variation of feldgrau to restore an m40 heer made in quist?
A true work of art. Exceptional! Including the chemistry lessons.
I'm glad you liked it.
What is that powder you use to make the rough texture? Is it sand?
It's aluminum oxide
@@wwiituberestoration1011 how many micron? Is 1 micron good enough? I have an m42 and I want to put new paint on it.
Nice one! Why did you mix the talcum through the paint? For texture?
No, not for texture. I used it to make from paint a putty.
@@wwiituberestoration1011 Check, thanks for replying :D
Parabéns 👏👏👏. Saudações do Brasil.
Can i use baking soda or sand instead of aluminium oxide?
Great job! I have a WW2 German helmet size Q68 - it needs a new liner.. where did you get yours? Thank you!
Hi, what kind of finish do you apply? matte, semi matte or gloss for the spray. Thanks
Hi, i apply matte spray.

the originals were lacquered on
you can get it from france

I'm amazed that something that old, especially if it was recovered from the ground cleans up as well as does. Nicely done Sir
How much does it cost your restored helmet?
any reason that you bogged up the holes in the top instead of just welding and grinding them?
@George Gee...... but it is broke - hence the hole, and bogging it isn't fixing it.
Отличная работа лайк
It was very good ... Good job👍✋
Wasn´t there also a black white red crest on the side?
only until march 1940
One side had a red white and black crest, the other side had the eagle crest. ( maybe later in the war the sticker was dis continued.)
The red and white colours in the decal were found to attract enemy fire, so were ordered painted over prior to the France 1940 campaign. Many units, however, especially in the rear echelons didn’t overpaint theirs.
I do restorations as well but I'm new at it what is the best in your opinion the top rust remover

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?
Use drywall then sand it. Make sure to use light coats to thick. I would advise to sand it down then put the drywall smoothly over the whole helm. The paint Will make the drywall strong and you wont even tell. And for youre saftey please wear a mask and hold breath as it contains silica dust.
Steel Lion have you done it? If so can you send any pictures of the finished product? I can give you my email
id just spot weld over the holes and then grind them back
5hiftyL1v3a I don’t own a welding machine. Lol
It’s not badly rusted just pitted.i was thinking a metal filler and sanding down
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.
That adhesive has a binary base of epoxy resin and tertiary amine? Which is the reason for applying in the helmet crown?
Amazing!! Out of interest, how many man-hours involved here?
It takes maybe two weeks.
I must say helmet Germany very beautiful
