[@МихаилЛебедев-э1ы]

День добрый. Подскажите какую финальную краску используете(зелёную)?

[@wwiirestorer]

сейчас точно не вспомню вроде-бы ral 6006

[@АлександрТрушляков-ж4л]

Пескоструй тебе в помощь! Лайк !

[@nordicfront1942]

Look great! Well done :) What material are you using for the metal cleaning at 2:06?

[@wwiirestorer]

Thank you. It is a rust remover.

[@markosterman419]

Looks great. Is there some reason why you wear gloves when applying the decal? Is it done with a solvent rather than water?

[@wildwolf6074]

Хороший исходник!

[@Ossi_88]

The best way to remove rust is to Youse Oxcalic acid. Well done 👌

[@supremesadness999]

Where did you get the sticker from?

[@igoravonich2013]

Nice work. Do you think you would ever sell it?

[@wwiirestorer]

Hi, this helmet is in my collection, I am not going to sell it yet.

[@igoravonich2013]

@@wwiirestorer oh nice how big is your collection?

[@wwiirestorer]

@@igoravonich2013 if you want I can review my collection, not only because of the Second World War, but also the maneuvers.

[@supremesadness999]

I would love to have that

[@cloudy_fn_2641]

Can I ask you something? I have a German helmet at home and I would like to make it more shiny, but at the same time I plan to put a decal on it. Do you think that the decal on the helmet would hold even if there was a clear coat on it?

[@wwiirestorer]

Yes, only a clean and flat surface

Курица вроде ровная,а шлем детский.

@@СвятогорскийРубеж I do beleive towards the end of the war the Nazis had child soldiers. And that allied forces would rather capture them than shoot them.

[@mariogajewski6069]

Not original when restored looks great but not for me.

[@rodeoman1101]

was lokking good until you bogged and painted it, just looks like a cheep and nasty reproduction now.

[@PatrioticAmerican77]

Hey it looks good to me, looks like it came fresh out of the factory

[@Mrtigertank]

Stop hating I think it looks clean and fresh

[@peterrisden1148]

Ahh...the debate continues...to refurbish or not. Personally, if a relic has nothing left in terms of original paint or decals, then why not refurbish? I like to use the classic car comparison...nobody wants to see a rusty piece of crap that can't be driven, and everybody appreciates a good classic car restoration. Yes cars or helmets are pieces of history...but there is nothing wrong with living history...seeing artifacts as they would have looked when being used by the original owners, so many years ago...how the original owners would have felt being issued with it and trying it on for the first time, or living with it throughout the conflict...
