  • Rusty WW2 German Helmet Restoration. I found this rusty German helmet with a metal detector on a WWII battlefield. This helmet was very rusty. But when I washed the helmet, I saw the emblem. I decided to restore and preserve a rusty German helmet to preserve history. There was a lot of rust. I removed the rust and preserved the helmet with wax. I hope you enjoyed my restoration video.

      ​@reverendtfg6802 comments like yours are the reason we start wars.
      Not sure I totally understood the "not see trash" expression you used but putting the blame of the horrors committed in wars in the shoulders of a low rank foot soldier is, to say the least, unfair. Just my opinion.

    Excellent as always…. I’ve got two naive questions: was the second time you submerged the helmet was it in oxalic acid? Also, why not use electrolysis?

    Евгене питання чому коли знаходите такі речі, не пакуєте їх в пакет? Адже потім як на мене краще реставрувати. Я робив після лимонки прикривав пастирем декаль, піскоструєм, запаював дірки. Далі вороніня та підмальовка, краще зберігається. Але кожному своє👍

    • @ReXtorer
      @ReXtorer  Месяц назад

      Вперше чую, щоб каску з фарбою в лимонку кидали. Лимонна кислота знищує фарбу. Та й підмальовка… тут повна консервація. Якщо потрібно каску в 0 реставрувати, то електроліз і піскострумінь.

    Это не реставрация, а чистка. Реставрация это восстановление утраченного и приведение объекта к оригинальному виду. Но тут хотя бы не навредили. В принципе, объект как старый артефакт сохранён и это уже неплохо.

    • @user-my8wn3rq5j
      @user-my8wn3rq5j 21 день назад

      В том то и дело, что настоящая реставрация не подразумевает нанесение грунтовок, шпаклевок, красок, китайских декалей, чтобы в итоге получился безжизненный вылизанный гламурный шлем, как в киоске в подземном переходе. В данном случае объект привели к оригинальному музейному виду настолько, насколько это было возможно. При всех дальнейших фантазиях- уже пойдет отход от оригинального вида и потеря коллекционной и исторической ценности предмета
