Helmet update

When I first started talking to Sir Donngel, the guy building my helmet, we agreed on May being the delivery date for my new helm. For the last week or so I've been thinking about emailing him, just to say, hey, where are we at? Can I still expect the helm sometime in May? I've tried really hard not to be obnoxious about it, or a pain in the ass. So I was going to sit on my hands until around May 3rd or so.

So imagine my delight when I got this email this morning:

Nickolas,

Attached are a few pics I have of the helmet. The brass is worked out, the skirt /wrap plate is done. I just have to finish up the drawings for the the etching.

And even more exciting, of course, were the attached photos.




Look out! I'm pinhead! Wow... just, wow. It looks really, really cool. The damn thing is nearly a reality now. I'm still a little anxious about what the final plaque will look like... but everything up to this point has been so amazing, I expect no less for that.

Damn.
