really -looks- wrong, since the samurai's helmet was ENTIRELY decorated... in this case there's a huge clash between the sleek helmet, and mask which is so heavily detailed

Not all samurai helms where decorated. Most were super simple. Plus this is exactly what my customer asked for...have you even looked at Kabuto's?

Yea I really like this one, I need to snag some better pictures of it sitting on the brow of its rightful owner. He painted it red and it looks pretty cool, not sure how often he uses the mask but It looks nice while on display.

Is it steel?
The light makes it look like brass or bronze.How many times did you anneal the face?
Lovely work.

TimeTurbine In reply to ou8nrtist2 [2011-07-25 13:37:24 +0000 UTC]

yup its all steel, i didn't anneal the face at all, just started with a nice coldrolled 16ga. mild steel thank you

Wow,and no cracks without annealing ?I think you're lucky.
Oh and another compliment;I appreciate that you've chosen different thicknesses for different parts of your helms,as the real deal would have been made...

thanks man, ya i've done a couple pieces like that mask and know where to tip toe around safly but trust me i've cracked enough pieces to know that can be a problem, i'm just lazy

ou8nrtist2 In reply to TimeTurbine [2011-07-26 01:35:40 +0000 UTC]

Well,it worked ...this time.LOL
and it IS lovely.
But honestly 5 minutes of torch annealing would mean none of your efforts are EVER wasted.
Believe me when i say,as you get older you will develop more patience.

Very impressive work, so mush details, cant hep wonder how much time a piece like that take to make....

well the helm takes much much longer than the mask does the mask i did in 1 day (all it takes is a bit of practice and going in with a plan helps) the helm took about 35 hours. the mask maybe 9. and thanks for saying so!
