Converting Helmet - Can it be Done?
I have found a good supply of cheap steel helmets. I am wondering if they are OK as they are for German Re-enactment or will they need to be converted slightly. Obviously they will need a paint job but there are so many people who can do this well it shouldn't be a problem.
What do you think?

You'll have to put an Erbsentarn helmet cover on it or a Leibermuster as it looks like the M45 German helmet! Perfect for last effort/late war re-enactment...
Re: Converting Helmet - Can it be Done?
I think they are pretty useless to convert into a m35,m40,m42...
But,maybe if you have the hands of a magician...
For a m45? would that not be the exception

I think the only spuds they would fire are Roosters !!

Never mind the spuds, can you get one to fit my big swede?

Helmets would be great on a foggy day from a long distance and if you squint
And that boys is how you take a penalty.

If you can get a fire under it with some H²O, you can boil the spuds and make some Kartofelsalade... schmeckt gutt!Hoffman Grink wrote:Or spuds?

Note I used Homage and Gay but made no reference to the Big Swede that Stig has
