I just finished my replica Maximilian style bellows close-helmet! (ca. 1525)
Entirely re-created in CAD, this Maximilian-style helmet features a crest, an elaborately fluted bowl shape, and an intimidating angular visor. I think I’ve nailed the aesthetic, thanks in good part to photographs from museums used to re-create every single feature of the original, along with its proportions and shapes. I posted my references up there with the rest of the pics, if you want to see the antiques it was based on.
I then 3D printed it in petg-cf and painted it to look like metal - if you're curious about my design or paint process, check out a little video tutorial I made a while back! Obviously it's a costume armor, it only serves to look good and does not provide any kind of protection whatsoever.
I'm very proud of the paint job, and the fact I was able to publish this kit despite the (positive) chaos of my personal life!
It's available for download here and here, if you wish to make one for yourself! I hope you like my work, and I wish you the best :D
