I would build this helmet in the following order:
- Cut out the plates.
- Punch holes in the side/bottom plate for the camail
mounting.
- Finish the plate edges and corners.
- Dish and shape the top halves.
- Weld the top halves together.
- Grind the weld flush on the outside and cleanup weld
on the inside if needed.
- Shape the side/bottom plate to fit the helmet top.
- Weld the side/bottom plate on to the helmet top.
- Grind weld flush on the outside and cleanup weld on
the inside if needed.
- Polish the helmet. (I use 3M surface conditioning disks)
- Build bar grill visor and attach it to the helmet.
- Add leather mounting strip for camail.
- Add the camail (Your on your own with the camail).
