The Sallet

- Here is the description of another historically used medieval helmet, and one of my favourite, the Sallet. Widely used in Germany and other European countires like Italy, France and England the Sallet is definitely one of the most significant pieces of medieval armour ancient warriors used in combat.
my favourite type of helmet
The German Sallet with articulated tail is my very favorite helmet! (of course with a bevor)
man, i freaking love gothic germanic armours and the sallet with those badass loking pauldrons builds a fearsome presence to the user
me too, the sallet is one of my favourites. I am planning on purchasing another sallet but this time one of those with the long tail, together with the bevor it looks just superb.
Metatron ahem
Metatron what is your favorite helmet sir, you said maximilon is your 2nd favorite what is your first? thankyou, i am buying a helmet and trying to choose between the maximillion or the pig snout bascinets,... this sallet is ridiculous talk about moving backwards, it gives no protection to the most vital and vulnerable area the neck...
Sebastian Caine Hi there :D There are sallets with long tails, in German style ^^
My favourite kind of helmet is the frog mouth :D
Yes pigfaced and Maximillian are both really cool, it's a tough call really
Metatron thank you i will look into this, the frog mouth, :) i want the ultimate protection but another commenter said vision through it was useless thus not so functional... i need something i can use for home defence... i have one more question, i was watching a movie with nicolas cage called season of the witch, and nicolas wears the most amazing helmet, but i have no idea what its called, do you know what it is, i would like to research it if i have a name... ;D haha

Thank you for the clarification, I always assumed the "sallet" style helm was a German creation. Great videos, keep sharing your knowledge.
Lion Kelly THank you very much Lion Kelly :D
Lion Kelly pretty sure it was a german creation. i love metatron but his italian bias gets in the way of truth a lot kind of like lindybeige and his britishness
Heart of Fire im 99 percent sure its italian
@@heartoffire8481 The sallet is italian and germans heavily used it later. I think the biased one it's you here and your "germanism", that i see very often on this channel. Metatron has no bias, differently from tons of germans.
You forgot switzerland. It was one of the most common helmets for the swiss reisläufer pikemen.
Rebypox True I will add a note :D Cheers
Rebypox Switzerland was part of the German lands, it is still a German land, as well as Austria, it is foolish try to make any difference between them, the essence of Germania comes from the Holy Roman Empire.
+Kaiserlicher Ritter By the beginning of the 14th century the Swiss Confederation was only loosely connected to the Holy Roman Empire, having broken free from direct Habsburg rule through warfare.
Michael Stern
Nevertheless it didn't make them much more different than the rest of the German lands.
Well, I'm Swiss and I beg to differ.
Swiss culture is very different from German and has been for many years and except for a few northern Cantons, none have been under German rule.
The German sullet is beautiful ;_;
*sallet q.q
Lion Reichelt all are lol
You basicly just like lindeybeige.....GOOD! we need more youtubers like that! Subscribed!
lindy>this poser
lindy is taller, smarter, slimmer, better english/articulation, higher production quality, more experience, more comprehensive, funnier, more unique perspective, handsomer, older, wiser, manlier beard, the list goes on an on my son
also uk>italy
s1Lence well you seam to be in love with him
lordofdarkdudes I very well may be, thanks.
s1Lence have you meet him in person?
Dude what the fuck... Both of them make an excellent job and their content and style is quite different. There's no need to compare them. However I do understand how one could fall in love with Lindybeige ;)
Nice video.
It would be quite interesting to do some tests to see how the different helmets restrict your field of view and how that impacts your ability to do basic tasks or move around.
thanks :) yes it would be a good idea to do that, maybe I will make a video about that with my friend/assistant :) If you don't mind I will mention you for providing the idea :D
Metatron Feel free :)
Italian Lindybeige is pretty hot.
Can't believe how much your video quality has improved in just three years.
Well done that man!
I could hear the joy in your voice! "So, it is now wearing time- I'm going to wear it for you." What a good feeling.
holy crap your channel exploded mate!
i remember bookmarking this video because I found your videos exciting and just thought of coming back a few years later and see how you're doing
i was positively surprirsed
Can't quite say whether this or the Frogmouth is my favorite.
As I am German, I am used to seeing a Sallet and I absolutely adore the combination of protection and optic, especially from the sides in combination with a bevor!
AWWWWW LOOK AT THE LITTLE METATRON!!
You've grown up so much
I went from buying and wearing Samurai armor to buying Gothic German styled armor, this helmet will add a great conversational piece when explaining my German ww1-2 collection!
Great video I liked the info there are so many videos on weapons it is nice to see some one armor
thank you very much for watching :D there is more to come stay tuned *-*
Cool video. Always had mixed feelings with the Sallet. Looks so cool and menacing, but not as "safe" as the full face helmets. Keep it up.
same here, it's one of my favourites but it's not my favourite because of that same reason ;) thank you for watching, more videos coming :D
Well as long as you have a bevor with it the protection is fine. But I agree having your lower face exposed and wearing the sallet alone is silly.
love your helmet videos.
10 years and 900k subs later.
Well done!
I will have to check out how your collection is now.
That visor probably really restricts your downward vision. I would go without it.
Great video, really glad I've found your channel, subscribed!
Do you have anything on Kettle Hats?
Keep up the good job. Best channel on RUclips.
+Misanthropy Thank you very much for your compliment, I still don't have anything on kettle hats but I surely will make a video about that in the future.
In the meantime you can have a look at Knyght errant, he has a lot of videos about helmets too, and I believe he has covered kettle hats as well ;)
And then when I finish my video about it you could watch mine too :P
Metatron, scoprii il tuo canale l'anno scorso con questo video, e a distanza di un anno ti ringrazio, perché questo canale mi ha aiutato a perseguire la mie passione per la storia e per le armature di ogni tipo. Iscritto! Grande e continua così!!!
I liked the music you played when putting your helmet on.
I'm already your fan! Keep up with the awesome videos! Greetings from Brazil!
ladyanterella Thank you so much :D :D
What's the news from the other provinces? Hello
that sallet is the “German sallet Nuremberg” by ulfberth which is available on Celtic web merchant
Damn that's a sleek helmet it's minimalist yet striking
Interesting how the Sallet was popular in Germany and the influence of the design can clearly be seen in the Stahlhelm used in WW1. Whereas in England the Kettle helmet was more popular which clearly influenced the Brodie helmet that they used in WW1.
Spain used it as well. This was the type of helmet the conquistadors favored. The morion helmet they're usually depicted in didn't exist yet.
I wasn't prepared for 'wearing time'.
OMG, first time I've seen you without long hair. I quite like it.
+Dominik Guz That is Herugrim, sword of Theoden from LOTR.
I would think this helmet with the rest of the head pieces would have been the best method of protection since the visor only needed to cover so much.
It's an amazing looking helmet and you can kinda see were the German world war II helmets might have gotten their inspiration from.
Ok I had no Idea they actually used this for inspiration of the WWII helmet I left this comment be for I saw that part of the video
one of my favorites. oddly enough, i believe there's a group of orcs in the two towers movie that wear the italian style sallet.
I've always thought that, too! The first time I watched the movie, I was like "Dang those are some good looking helmets! I wish there was some real life variation."
@@danoldja7487 thank you for nerding with me haha
This alongside with a few 13th century helmets with faceplates and the klappvisier bascinets is one of the most intimidating looking helmets of the medieval period in my opinion. I don't really know why, maybe because it gives it's wearer a sort of almost robotic or non human look especially if he's wearing a full suit of polished gothic fieldplate.
+MyNameIsMud It's probably the most vulnerable helmet of that era by far though. The gap between the sallet and bevor is just begging for a point to slide up there.
Seems like armets and close helms are, if perhaps less convenient, far more protective.
Anndgrim Yeah not to mention that some sallets have quite large opening for the eyes. But i'd still rather wear a sallet than an armet, Especially if i was an infantryman as i'm pretty sure the armet is heavier, atleast with a wrapper plate, and if not heavier atleast more restricting when it comes to moving your head, then again they can take lance impacts with those wrapper plates so there's that fact which makes it a good horseman's helmet. i'd still say the sallet is comfortable and overall more convinient as you said.
Most sallets I've seen are curved near the eye slit, so any thrust slides to the sides and away from the eyes.
Metatron, you pay no attention to the inner parts of helmets and armour, while those are the most important :)
At 5:41 it bears a striking resemblance to the German Stahlhelm of WWI and II
I could've sworn this was lindybeige from the thumbnail...
I am currently put an north Italian kit together with full visor sallet of wallace collection and chalkis type 1
I love sallets.. but only in conjunction with extended gorgets or they look a little odd imo... I always wondered why they didn't design them with full face protection
Just wore this for 8 hours straight at the job for a charity event. Is it normal that my neck wants to off itself?
Can you really see us with the visor down, metatron?
Wasn't the plate gorget worn with a mail "gorget" underneath, anyway? Mail is good protection, if heavy, but it's flexible and thus far less cumbersome. I'd imagine the plate gorget would only be used on horseback.
Good lord that choice of music for the wearing demo was just over the top and unnecessary!
I mean Good grief it just a bloody helmet!
I am half way tempted to parody you with a bucket! X3
It's Darth Vader
Yes, somehow. Because vaders helmet was inspired by the helmet of German soldiers in Worldwar I and II.
What's the sword with the round "guard"?
It's a Rohan sword from lord of the rings
It seems a very loose fit, even with the simple chinstrap- perhaps with a padded coif it would hold in place better, but did you find that without a coif it moved in on the head?
The quintessential helm.
It’s what inspired people at made the Stahlhelm ww1 /ww2
man, i always enjoy your videos,
good for you for cutting your hair, you look like 15 years younger
+lykigos This video is from 2 years ago ;)
i knew, but i had to make the comment nevertheless
lykigos ok ^^
I wanna see a video about the morion helmet.
Am I the only one who thinks that the kettle hat is the sexiest of them all?
Btw do you think it had an advantage on horseback for being able to see down with your visor lowered? Idk if you actually can but it seems that since it only covers half of your face, atleast without a large bevor infront you could be able to do that.
I think you forgot to mention the Bever the part you wear instead of a gorget
You remind me of Ricky Gervais' nemesis from the Extras, that guy called Greg.
We all have our favorite helms I guess; I just bought a Sallet because it is one of mine, though I prefer the heavy helmet look so I got one with a Bevel. I also like the closed Helms worn in the mid-1500's and my top spot would have to go to the Stetchhelm. It's a full face heavy helmet which provides the Ultimate amount of protection but realistically it's only a jousting helm because it requires an angle under 90 degrees to see anything out of it.
yes the Sallet has a very interesting/intimidating look to it doesn't it? :) But yes my favourite kind is the closed helmet, and I particularly like the frog mouth
Metatron the frog mouth is especially intimidating imo; and if you ever hear someone speak out of it their voice is amplified like an echo out of that cave of a helmet lol. That's the whole point of Knight Armour though, apart from protection and mobility, it was made to intimidate the opponent. You don't know if it was ever used in battle do you? I don't see many pictures of knights using it in battle and I can see why, due to it's impracticality for anything other than straight Calvary charges.
Moses Browning yes you make a very good point about intimidating the enemy I did talk about it in my "helmets had top decorations" video. But yes the frog mouth (which is my favourite) was only used for jousting, hence it's weight, size and lack of mobility, all these three characteristics were expendable in a tournament, where what really mattered was to resist the shock of the lance in full charge.
Metatron Yes I agree. I would not feel safe in most regular helms of the time in a jousting tournament; even though it is only wood, you can still easily break your neck without the right protection. Frogmouth's were basically giant slabs of thick steel which were usually one piece. I think that it could deflect a metal rod and still protect the user reasonably well :)
Moses Browning yes frogmouth is op :D
metatron what is your favorite helmet, you said maximilian is your 2nd so i am interested what is your first, is it the pig snout one since it better deflects arrows, i am tempted to buy the maximilan helmet because it looks awesome but i want to know if there is any better helmet than the maximilian, pig snout or great helm, in terms of safety, weight, style, all around, what is the best in your opinion, or anyone else reading this hahah
*****
Thanks for all that information :)
Ok so I was taught that its pronounced "Sa-ley," not "Sa-let," equally with Armets, i was taught "Ar-mey," not "Ar-met." Is there a correct pronunciation, or am I just using the French pronunciation?
You look so young! Have you had a tough year, mate?
Just joking... a beard will add years... anyway, great vid as always. Very clear, very informative and useful info :)
OMG, ain't that the Steve's helmet?
does the bevor limit the movements of the wearers face ? like, can the user still look around without much/any restriction ?
Was the sallet the influence for the World War 1 & 2 Stahlhelm?
Could a mail coif be worn under a sallet helmet with bevor or was it only an arming cap or padded coif?
Where the Helmets soft inside ? Or is it just bare metal on the head....
And Will you ever make Video's about Kiewer Rus or Russian armor in general ? There are so little videos in general about the more eastern europe armor's
I imagine from the size it would be worm with a padding or coif.A padded coif would also offer extra protection against a hammer or blunt strike.
Nobody knows- the only evidence we have is archaeological (In wich padding and linen will have rotted away) and from treatises and literature, which tend to be vague due to the art style of the time. All we can do is speculate sometimes.
The Hyrule soldier armor in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild comes with a sallet where the visor is replaced with a brow plate with a nasal guard. Tried to look up sallets on Google, and all of them have an eyeslit, no facial protection or the visor. None with a brow plate with a nasal guard.
Are there any records of examples of such a sallet?
There is a Italian sallet (barbute) with a hinged nasal in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. You can see pictures of it on their website.
Is this helmet good to fight in? It looks like it has hardly any vision when the visor is down.
Melancholic Mexican It depends on the quality, good quality ones do grant reasonable vision :3
Ah, thanks.
BEGON WARP FILTH
On the wall, thats Orchrist but is that lower blade Dawnbreaker from Skyrim?
the lower sword is a Rohirrim blade wielded by Eowyn. another LotR weapon. Dawnbreaker had a circular guard, whereas this one has two horses joined to form it. now that you mention it though, I do see the resemblance.
is this a mass production sallet you have or a custom made one?
I have a question about the close helmet. Since it evolved from the sallet by 1495, does that mean that the earliest known date for when the close helmets existed is 1495?
@Kaiser Franz von Lappen der 2. Thanks, the thing is that I am not really trying to find out when it became popular since I can already make a pretty good judgement for when that happened. The main problem I have been having was trying to find when it was actually created since I could never find a proper date or really anything that gave me an idea to when it was created which is why I asked my question. Thanks again for answering, even though its not Metatron, it makes me happy to see someone answer my question since this has bothered me for quite a while.
The Royal armouries have a close helmet that dates to 1485; inventory number IV.1879.
@@hishamg OMG, you have done it. Finally someone has actually found a source of a close helmet in the 15th century. Thank you so much. I looked at the helmet on the royal armouries and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that helmet and then one other helmet. That is because there is actually another close helmet that was made in the 15th century to. There is a close helmet called the Tilting helm that dates to 1490 and its inventory number is IV.502. Again, thank you so much for showing me this website and that helmet. We can now say that the Close Helmet is a medieval helmet and I now have closure with this topic that I have been trying to find for around 2 or 3 years now.
My favourite helmet type :D
EnhancedNightmare why is the sallat your favorite helmet when it gives such lousy defence,
Sebastian Caine Why lousy? The neck is well protected from cuts and stabs, the back of the head is covered very well. It is very adjustable you can open top part and also lower neck park too. Which makes it very comfortable. It also looks pretty cool imho.
These are my reasons, some other helmets might be better at protection, I don't know never tested them in this way. Which types of helmet do you find to be better?
EnhancedNightmare Are we talking about the same helmet lol the side of the neck and throat are exposed, someone could just effortless lob off your head,... it may look cool but compared to the maximilon helmet? which looks 1000x cooler and gives a complete protection :) that is my favorite for style and protection in one :)
Sebastian Caine Tell me where is the neck exposed?

The sallet was never used alone!
Sebastian Caine The maximilian helmet was pretty cool in its own way, however it wasn't as popular back then. I wonder why. It kind of looks claustrophobic, I don't know I'd want to spend whole day in one. The close fitting parts just ask to be jammed after one strike.
The other nice helmet is the Lobster-tailed pot helmet and derivatives of them such as Polish Hussar helmets. Very light and giving good visibility and air. Protection hmm ... not so much hehe but it was for lighter units and the coolness factor is off the roof. Just look at this example (from museum in my city):
upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/Szyszakskrzydlaty.jpg
So is this the kind of armor that would have worn during the Italian Wars?
If so, why are so many shows that depict that era so inaccurate? One of my favorite historical shows is "Borgia" on netflix (not the american version - that was stupid) and they would lead you to believe that during the Renaissance, armor was mostly discontinued save only breastplates, and some helmets without facial protection.
Julius Cheeser sure those shows are rubbish, they demonstrate how useless chainmail is by using butted steel mail, why didnt they just use alluminium butted mail lol i am ordering a rivetted steel chainmail vest and coif... maybe some chausses too lol...
+Stephen Richards it's probably budget. Probably not that it's too expensive so much as they are cutting corners cause they don't really give a damn. Most shows are like that.
Look at GoT, it's supposed to be set in a world where Gothic-like plate armour is available but some of the richest men in the world wear mail shirts, coats of plates, and even some weird leather armours into battle.
I love wearing this helmet
Wouldn't the Armet be more common in France, England, and The Netherlands.
can you see your feet when walking with the visor down?
A question to the Metatron: How common was for this kind of helmet (or any kind of helmet) to fall off in combat? Like, if you were hit in the head but not to the point of getting your skull smashed, could the strips tollerate the impact?
What's the name of the song that plays when you wear the Sallet? 5:30
Today we are going to talk about the Salad! XD (I know, i had to do it, i love puns based on words XD)
I don't know if you still check these videos, Metatron, but I was wondering if you might have any tips for finding a legitimate website to order a decent sallet for myself, preferably a full-face version with mouth/chin protection, or a sallet and a separate "bevor," as you called it, that I can order to combine with the sallet itself. I am not looking for necessarily high-grade, combat-ready material, here, just something to collect and wear as a kind of prop, but still professionally made. If you could point me in the right direction, then it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
+CISsuperdroid Hi there, if you want some good quality helmet you should probably have a look at a proper armourer and have it realised for you basing it on a real finding that the armourer can emulate. I'll see if I can find a site to suggest
Okay, thanks very much for the advice! I'll look into it myself, as well.
During the whole video i was like "Why isn't he calling the neckguard bevor? WHYYY?"
Jokes aside, you should have mentioned the name.
And i actually didn't know it was from Italy to begin with. I just presumed it was a german thing since it's so iconically german.
ahah true ;) next time I will make sure to mention all names properly. It is a bevor indeed I couldn't remember the name while shooting xD the Italian word kept coming back in my mind lol
Anyhow I posses the sallet but don't have the bevor and I like to always show what I am talking about to the audience :D So When I will add a bevor to my collection I will make another video about it and describe it properly ^_^ Thank you for watching and thank you for the insight :)
I added an annotation xD ty 1:30
No problem.
Oh, and if you get some extra cash flowing in, get a better camera. Yours work but the standard is kinda high nowadays, and fun toys is always fun!
Yes I need to get a Nikon, Two days ago I actually went to a photography shop to have a look at the prices with my friend. Also this video is one of the first I made, now I already use a better lighting, and a proper set is coming.
I have also got a professional microphone now so If you see the new videos the audio has also improved so I reckon that in a couple of weeks when the lighting set will arrive you will see a big improvement in the visuals and photography. :)
Thanks for the tips though, all constructive criticism is accepted :D
ps: we shot this video with a Nikon Katana Stances
although it's just in 720p a Nikon in full HD does an amazing job, I am a fan and can't wait to become a Nikonist :)
Which camera do you prefere? Canon? Nikon? Others? Suggestions accepted
I dunno what camera i prefer, good ones :P
I just like interesting videos to be crisp and nice, that's all.
I wonder though: in the pictures you showed the neckguard was not made of one piece, but of multiple potruding sheets of metal. wouldn't this catch a blow instead of deflect it? your own version (which is made of one sheet) seems much more sensible to me.
Indeed, there were different styles and techniques and although I think the multiple sheets version would still work, I myself prefere the one made of one sheet, just like you.
Metatron if i had to face home intruders, and i had every helmet in all history to choose from to put on, what would be the best in your opinion, thankyou... :) and how important is intimidation factor, do you think it would make any difference in such a situation, could a helmet send a fright into an opponent enough for them to think twice and back off or run lol...
Sebastian Caine I think any closed helmet will do, but if you get pigfaced make sure it's good quality, if it's a cheap helmet you are going to buy than it's better to buy a cheap Maximilllian, because cheap pigfaced or hounskulls have huge vision problems.
For the intimidation I think that any helmet will do because a thief who find a screaming person wearing a helmet in 2015 with a knife in the hand will run away thinking you are completely mental xD xD ahah
I should try it on one of my friends a make a video about it xD
Metatron Thanks for the input on the pig-faced and hounskulls vision issues on a cheap helmet, its invaluable to know this considering my budget is restricted at the moment, and i was seriously considering a cheap pig-faced helmet because i imagined a arrow being perfectly deflected and my budget is tight so mostly i go for cheap if i can get away with it... i am making an entire suit of armor... I'm eclectically dipping into different areas that use armor, for example riot police gear, hockey protection gear, martial arts, paintball gear, ancient helmets and armor etc, its early days, but i already have riot police leg thigh and arm armor, a bullet and stab resistant kevlar vest, i am going to wear a riveted steel chainmail vest over the Kevlar for good knife protection, because i saw someone put a combat knife through a vest similar to mine on a youtube video,... so the Kevlar will be my gambason to take shocks, and give me some bullet resistance, ... wearing my police riot armor my brother said i look like robocop, i guess i will be a walking tank when my armor is complete... i am 99percent set on a maximilion helmet now after your input just confirmed it to me :) so thanks very much! your right about intimidation, i was imagining myself walking around in a maximilion and people thinking i am insane because thats what i would be thinking if confronted by it lol... especially if its late and dark... haha
Sebastian Caine That armour sounds cool ^_^ send me a pic when you finish it :D
Helo noble ones, this is the Metatron speaking from 2017 :)
I have one but can't figure out how to open the visor or remove the gorget 😂
giusto per info, sapresti dirmi lo spessore della tua celata? (in mm o in gauge)
What's the name of the song used in "Wearing Time"?
SnakeFang217 oh, I think I made this video almost a year ago so I don't remember the name of the song, but I'll have a look at the folders and see if I find it, it should be in my old computer ;)
Ah! Thank you very much.
I would like to know why this is, or is not better than a Roman legion helmet.
What was the song used in "Wearing time"?
Hey i got a question do you happen to know what kind of armor/helmets that was used in sweden during this era? i can't find any information really.
When thinking about Sweeden (and Danimark) the first thing that comes to my mind is the Vikings. Considering that the Viking era (or Viking age) lasted from the late 8th century untill 1066 we can consider it part of (or close to) the high middle ages (c. 1001-1300) and what will come next in Sweeden, Danimark and other Norse lands in Scandinavia will probably be similar to that which the vikings were using.
Also the Scandinavian blacksmiths were fantastic producers of high quality steel, probably the best around at that time. I hope this answers your question.
ps: I have a video about the Vikings coming in the near future, so stay tuned if you want more details and a nice show of their equipment :)
Metatron Ah great to hear that, can't wait!
Looks like what the orcs wore in LotR
Any idea about where I could buy this sallet?
did anyone notice the light at 7:50 moving from behind the armor from left to right
sry 2:20
+USA_Vegas 702 orb
Hey Metatron! I’ve been following your videos for a while now and I’m a big fan! I have a quick question. I’m writing an amateur comic book and want to feature a character who wears full Armor in a WW2 type setting (gonna pretend it could really stop bullets). I was wondering what type of helmet you would recommend a character like this wear? Any suggestions for an entire suit of Armor to base the design from? Thank you in advance and thanks for the great videos!!
Is Darth Vader's helmet a sallet?
Ι am sorry but isnt the macedonians helmets a basis for modern helmets?
Some sallets have wider eye slit am I correct?
***** Correct ^^
I wish I could buy one :D Too bad I don't have enough money. :c
***** Save up 10 euros a month :D
Anyone think it looks like ser killalots helmet from robot wars
aaaaw, look how uncomfortable he is
So this is medieval armour at its most advanced. Basically, you are a walking tank.
*****
It is true, this armour came out at the very end of the medieval age, and one reason gunpowder weapons became more effective is that all previous weapons had become increasingly ineffective against the armour of the late 15th Century. But you're right, knights still wore armour into combat during the Renaissance, such as in the 16th Century wars against the Ottomans, as bullets could not penetrate it at long or medium range.
+valair Look up armets and close helms. They are light years ahead in terms of protection compared to the sallet.
Replace the visor with a gasmask and we got Darth Vader.
ahahha very true :D
Or leave it like that and you have Starkiller.
I love the sallet but i don't have one :(
Marto Atanasoff buy one
Hehe easy to say, i find them expensive
Marto Atanasoff if you value them enough you will save up, its a lifetime investment, just put aside money, its worth it!
