Ranger Helm

[Mirimaran]

Hi all,

I was looking at KoA and saw this helmet:



Inspired by the appearance of the Rangers in The Return of the King, thinking hard of getting it.

Nice looking light-helmet! To my eye it's just about perfect for one of the Grey Company.

Interesting notion! Liking it...someone needs to hit that with some 6-800 grit and get a patina-like finish going.

The helmet I use now had a similar finish, it was from Bud-K and I used brake fluid to get the paint off, not sure if this is the same kind of finish or not.

Cool helmet! I've been scanning the web for a "ranger helm" on and off for months, and this is a style I like very much.

Nice item. I hate helms despite having a few different ones for combat. This looks like it work well if the Corps ever needed to armor up as it were

[Greg]

Grey company was wearing helms, so it did happen.

in a book sure, for me, not gonna. I wear ranger kit to have moment not hinder it but I'm a more acrobatic kind of guy anyway

Nice helmet. Yeah, fix the paint job and whack it a couple of times to give it some damage and I'd say good to go.

(Oh, did I mention that is my absence I started hanging around a Star Wars related forum that pushes for weathering on their particular kits? )

Some nice weathering is always welcome, to me! That said, one must be careful not to go overboard with items that are intended to be used in the field - and in the end, field use provides the best weathering

I've always thought that was a good point for a ranger kit. There is no need to weather it if you are going to get out in the wilds with it. It will happen naturally.

Did you ever get this helm Mirimaran? would love to see it as part of the standing "Kit".
I am working on a leather helm for my Raven Hill Scout kit. I plan on trying to for a leather version of the Grim Hammer helms shown at the gate of Erebor in the prologue of the first hobbit movie. Much of the inspiration comming from the Turner Mohan sketches of Second age Dwarven Helm and bevor sets. It should have several add on or removeable peices.

Those look very awesome, no haven't gotten it yet, pesky bills have to be caught up first lol but plan to.
