Make a Helmet Cover to go out into the Blue with Comrades.


Enjoy.

Sacking is very useful Comrade, hours of fun and clouds of fluff.

On completion I soak it in very hot water and allow it ti dry on the Helmet so it loses some colour also so it shrinks and stretches in all the right places.

I'm not sure I wanna shrink it as it very tight as it is and the sacking was near a bus stop when I found it and had been for a month so it's already very faded!

Ah yes, Dog Urine will do that to sacking after a while. :)

Lol, I did get the driest ones I could find (I believe at the time I even sniffed them to make sure!)

Very nice

Sgt Heide made some awesome 'early war' ones a few years back with foilage loops sewn on.

Mines currently the base of my cold war MKV helmet camo but should another dunkirk era game come up it will go back on my mkii.
