Greeting Boffer Smiths 
 
Here is a nice  easy way to get started on the basic helmets and its not too  
expensive.
little league  baseball helmets with face grills work great so long as they 
fit snug on the  child's head and have a good chin strap you can find used ones 
at the DI or  other thrift stores like Savers or the Salvation Army. You can 
get new helmets  with grills at Big 5 or Sports Authority. Walmart sometimes 
has them with grills  on them too. I also look for used hockey helmets, they 
work well for the younger  kids. Paint them, decorate them. Horns are ok but no 
sharp points round them  off.
I was think about the Norman helmets. you know the ones that have the  round 
cap like top and the chain mail draping back and the nose ridge piece down  
the front.
The cap could be made from leather to cover the baseball helmet  and the 
chain mail could be simulated with a cloth drape off the back.
I will  make up a proto type for everyone to see.

Yours in  service of the Dream
