What's your favorite helmet? 🤔

I pull the spray nozzles off of empty cans that worked well when I used them. You can put them in a jar of solvent to soak for a while then blow them out with a 'canned air' duster. Use the skinny red straw that comes with the duster. If I run into a can of paint with a nozzle that acts up, I switch nozzles out until one functions the way I want. Nozzles can have different spray patterns, keep a bunch handy. It's saved me grief a few times. Oh, and shaking the can isn't the problem, it's the fit of those nozzles. I have had problems with those myself several times. Pro 🤥 Tip: Some nozzles are stemmed and fit into the paint can, some are stemless and the can's stem fits into the base of the nozzle. Keep a variety of nozzles!

Such a simple design, but truly iconic, when someone is tasked to think of an "army helmet", this is one of the first things they think of with the M1.

Yayyyy, More British stuff! Hope to see some more British reenacting again, and glad to see the famous table getting some more work on top of it (:

20 minutes of Nick restoring a helmet can’t wait!!!

just some advice on using spray paint: instead of shaking it while spraying and almost putting the entire coat in one go, try to go in lines from left to right (or the other way around) on a distance of 20cm. Very light first coat and do like 3 or 4 coats. This will give a way better endresult

Love to watch your restoration videos!

Great Restoration, love your videos. You inspired me to reenact, and I have to thank you for the entertainment, and for keeping History Alive!

i love watching these restoration videos they're so satisfying

after a tiring day at school, a history secrets video was needed!🤩🔥❤

No joke, by far my favorite youtuber, I look up too all of your videos and I do hope too be an amazing reenactor like you! Thank you for all the great content that you put out, can't wait for more!

Finally! just showing my collection to my friends you where the biggest inspiration! Thanks!

What a great helmet!! Love restoration videos!!🪖🪖🪖💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

imigane how happy the soldier who wore that helmet would be to see it restored🙂

So awesome job!!! For helmet it's a second live. NOW to be used on the reconstruction battle. Just perfect!

I absolutely love the editing you do on your videos. You're one of the only high quality ww2 channels

Amazing video Nick!!!

warm the spray can in some hot water before using , it increases the pressure and makes the paint flow alot nicer , also clean the nozzle in some cellulose thinners when it becomes blocked 👍

I just restored a very similar helmet! the label says GSW A P MKI 1942, and I repainted it a more brighter green. I'm happy with it! beautiful piece of my countries history.

Great job nick! Looks great 👍

Wow what a buetifull and historical helmet! Its also in good condition thats so cool to see items like that :)

I love history and these vids scratch that itch

Very well done restoration nick!

This man a history pro also in restoration.you’re videos have inspired me to get my own uniform and a M35 Stahlhelm especially this video about helmets was really great keep going

these restoration vids are interesting. also thanks for the new vid nick!

I always get excited when you upload a new video 😁

Amazing! It’s always makes my day when you post!

I am happy to see a Canadian helmet

It’s always a good day when you upload 😄

It came out nice . Great job 😎👍🏻

Good job. When I do my helmet restoration, de-rust, de-paint and paint the inside of the helmet. When it is dried completely, I install liner and chin strap. Finally, the helmet can sit on a model head and I paint the outside. Job done.

I think it turned out great, especially when you compare it to the beginning.

Really nice video! I didnt have anything to do and then you uploaded. Couldnt be better timing!

Great work, Nick! My great-granddad and his brothers must have worn tin hats just like that one-quite likely made in the same plant.

You know, I really like those fast tactical ballistic helmet.

Nick incase you didn't already, clear the nozzle by holding the cans upside down and spray untill the ''mist'' is clean after you're done :) Will prevent clogging in the future. Love your channel! Stay awesome! Btw obviously the nozzles have to be free of gunk, otherwise spraying upside down won't work either

these videos are always amazing

Love it, great job 😊

I love watching your restoration videos! You should show us that USAAF flak helmet one day!

these are my favorite videos keep up the work

Props to you for getting the colour correct

Ayy nick glad your back very awesome video you did a amazing job on the helmet!

I love British helmets and german helmet.

The Austria Hungary stalhelm from WW1 is my favorite

I hope I can see some more of these restoration videos

Wonderfull video Nick🔥

Very cool, well done.👍

adding a net would be really cool!

Fantastic video

Wow very nice 👍

Love restoration videos! I also love any video that had to do with Canada in WW2! Unfortunately compared to others, Canada doesn’t receive as much attention as it should. Aside from the Netherlands, who gives us 20,000 flowers annually (since 1945, when they gave us 100,000) as thanks for the liberation and the sheltering of Princess Julianna in Ottawa during WW2! I have a Canadian helmet stamped “C.L/C. 1942”, which indicates it was manufactured by Canadian Motor Lamp Co. in Windsor, Ontario, who made them from 1940-1943. What I love about Canadian helmets (and any for the matter) is that there are so many different ones to collect. I find the markings on GSW helmets to be interesting especially, I love the different markings for different departments. Like “D.P. & H.” is the Department of Pensions and Health. Unfortunately I find Canadian helmets to be often way overpriced. No way should anyone ever be selling a lone shell without even a chinstrap for $150. Maybe if it had some flash often not seen, but for a plain C.L/C. shell that’s way too overpriced. Luckily I got my complete helmet with the multicoloured net for cheaper than that, and it comes with a complete, unbroken chinstrap. Another great video Nick! Keep up the great work!

This is my favorite helmet i wish i could buy it

I have Canadian ww2 rcaf Brodie with all original paint liner strap and decal it’s really nice

Great job.

shame you couldn't get a panel beater to take those dents out. Had that problem myself with those spray cans. Enjoyed watching thanks for sharing

It's very easy to confuse a British helmet with a canadian one because they are basically the same, I've learned a lot of your helmet restoration videos Nick, keep doing sutch amazing videos :)

I wish I had those items too... :D

Nice work

My favorite helmet is definitely the m1

My great grand father was in the 5th Canadian medium artillery and wore a Brodie helmet.I’ve got his medals and personal information on him.

Good job ! ✌

Beste restoratie van een Brody helm echt een goede video 🎉

I always wait for a new upload!

As a young owner of 2 original British ww2 helmets, the Brodie will always be a favourite of mine, one of which is my great grandfathers, it is one the largest sizes but unfortunately due to years or layers of paint and being dropped, the stamps have become long gone, but now it's mine, alongside a Zuckerman Helmet I think they're called

My favorite helmet is the m1 helmet I also got a WW2 canteen and canteen cup to day great video

So cool

YES YES YES NEW VIDEO!!!

Great job

TEA AND CRUMPETS ☭COMRADE☭ ! This is beautifull ! Nice work.

Looks cool on you

Good job. 👍🇬🇧

I really really love your video

🔥🔥

You should spend the night in the trench with British Uniforms and equipment

I kind of like the rusty patina on old steel items :o)

Very nice

I remember as a kid in the 1970s the surplus store used to sell the empty unfinished british helmet shells for a dollar, they were black, no liner or straps, just empty shells. American M1 shells were $3.00, German helmets were about $40.00, and italian ones were $15.00. i dont think i saw japanese ones or russian, or any others back then, but, remember, in the 70s, this stuff was really surplus, it wasnt that old, there were millions if em out there, as everybodys dad brought them home from europe after the war... I think my uncle had his jeep cap into the 1980s hanging on a doorknob!

this is the 781th view - Brodie helmets were used back In WWI and WWII during battlefields in the World Wars
