Those are way cool. I need one with horns to wear to the football games. Great work, and thanks for sharing.

Where is Freak? I can picture him in one of these!

Nice work, welcome, here are some chocolate chip cookies. Never eat the doughnuts here. How do you make the horns stay on? If someone pulled one, would it come off?

Thanks for the good comments, people. The horns are on solid! I use Bondo to set a wooden block inside, then run a wood screw thru the bottom of the horn and into the block. Then I use 2 long wood screws to fasten the horns from inside the helm, and they also penetrate into the wood. A piece of plumber's tape acts as washers. The wood blocks are just a coarse fit...no real precision needed, but I tap 'em in, and then use the bondo. Thanks for the cookies! Why no donuts?

AWESOME helmets! But is that a hood ornament from a '63 Buick?

[Daggrim]

Ha! It's from some superfunky 50's retro streamline table ornament I found at a thrift store. It's about 2 pounds of solid brass...needed the leather lobster tail as a counterweight.

Wow - those are cool! Imagine a full suit of armor like that...
