In this video, I will show the restoration of the World War 1 German M16 Stahlhelm.
The Stahlhelm was often camouflaged by troops in the field using mud, foliage, cloth covers, and paint. Official issue cloth covers in white and grey appeared in late 1916 and early 1917. Camouflage paint was not formally introduced until July 1918, when German Army Order II, No 91 366, signed by General Erich Ludendorff on 7 July 1918, outlined official standards for helmet camouflage. The order stipulated that helmets should be painted in several colours, separated by a finger-wide black line. The colours should be relevant to the season, such as using green, brown and ochre in summer.

It's the old "Ship of Theseus" trick. Excellent.
I'm amazed how you can bring a pile of rust back to life like that 👍 very enjoyable to watch you do it. To be honest I liked it when it was just green. Fantastic restoration.
In the green phase that would have done great. Don’t like the colourful paint…
I was thinking exactly the same. An extremely well done restauration - but the camouflage paint at the end kind of ruined it.
@@tomrogerlilleby2890 its not really ruined when you can just paint over or remove it
@@medievalarmorexptert6827 plus this is how the Germans back in 1916 camouflaged their helmets
Everything apart from the paintwork I'd say is totally brilliant
The paint is supposed to look like that, all the soldiers on the field painted them themselves it never looked professional
nothing brilliant about welding and body filler
Yeah I feel the same. They usually thinned the paint out with fuel if I’m not mistaken. Made it go on smoother but still visible brush strokes.
@@jackdozhier2151 I wouldn't say hes talking about it not looking profesional. The camo isnt really doing its job cuz the helmet is still giving off a bit of a shine wich the camo was meant to prevent
The colour palette is just plain wrong. 10 seconds, 20 tops before that's got a snipers bullet through it! THEN, maybe, it would look authentic lol.
It's great to see people who put in such effort to keep history alive.
FAM HE DESTROYED TWO ORIGINAL HELMETS HE IS NOT KEEPING HISTORY ALIVE HE IS KILLING IT
@@fraiserwatson4790 would you use a kidney from another child to save your child with no kidneys?
@@KumaFall uh idk probably, but its not the same because one is a human life, and one is a part of history that will literally never go away unless you do something stupid like this to it
@@fraiserwatson4790глупый, реальная история была уничтожена сразу же после того, как уничтожили Германцев, а вместо Германцев сделали каких-то немцев. Если бы германцы совместно с союзниками выиграли ту войну, мы бы сейчас жили как свободные и живые люди, а теперь нас всех сделали не живыми рабами.
@@fraiserwatson4790bro those two helmets were literally as good as you can get for bringing something back to a representable form. You cant show half a helmet with fuck ton of rust and holes and day that it represents anything it would have loooned like back then
Beautiful metal work. From ugly helmet to the Partridge's bus. 🎼C'mon get Happy. 🎶 Great work, WW2!!
Молодец! Лайк! Всё было хорошо пока не разкрасил.
No, that paint design was real. He copied it onto the helmet
That’s the original look…
@@krak2889 right
the colors are fine, but you won't see such rough furrows from the brush anywhere... I hoped to the last that he would smooth them out
@@psypepper yeah, yeah i guess so
It's astonishing how you can restore anything from any condition. Awesome helmet!!
Its amazing how often they find Stahlhelms of booth ww1 and ww2, I love these kinds of restoration videos, Keep up the good work!
Have become a fan of this channel. No idle chit chat- just get to work with on screen displays on materials etc. Actually the helmet in the red colour looked cool.
Congratulations! I think is totaly green more beautiful than many collors.
I guess they used to pain them just like he did for camouflage! 😊
I love it man. Your restoration videos are the best! And the outcome of this specific restoration is just beautiful.
Thats sad that he destroy over 100 years old helmets
@@Wiisiaiqkqkqoqoqoqoq not really. They cant be really called helmets anymore.
Honestly, the condition of the steel at the start looks to be way too far gone but what an awesome job of reviving it. Did you use artist oil paints for the camouflage?
Another asinine comment. Did you watch the video at all? All the Lefranc & Bourgeois oil paints seen @13:20 says Huile, which is French for Oil. And yes they are artist oil paints. It's not oil paints from the dollar store. This particular brand comes from the biggest manufacturer globally and it is the brand most used by both amateurs and professional artists. Similar to what Windsor & Newton is to watercolors. But it's quality is reflected in the price.
@@gr1mrea9er82 no need to get your knickers in a twist. Chill. A simple yes would have been suitable. I have never used oils paints so therefore unaware of brands names
@@gr1mrea9er82 Что в твоей голове?! Разве в 1 МВ у солдат в окопе были элитные краски?
@@user-jx1lc6it7p . it's a legit question. When items are restored, it's only normal to ask questions. That's how we learn
@@gr1mrea9er82 Rude
poor guy that weared it 100 years ago... now he can rest in peace i guess. good work!
Lol
Love to see the restoration. Really appreciate your effort.
Great restoration and paintwork, well done!
You worked some magic on this one. Incredible work.
Very nice job. I never would have thought you could fix that helmet.
This is certainly a high level of dedication to the art of restoration....!
Best Stahlhelm out of all the others! Love the M16 Stahlhelm ❤
It's beatiful to see a k-on fan maintain his apparel
Ну всё, не бита, не крашеная, без пробега по России, один хозяин 😂
@GovoruN +++++
I wonder what stories that helmet could tell. Was it rusted out naturally, or did it's owner suffer some fatal strike that went right through the helmet? These restorations are amazing!
probaly the first choice
I want to change the chin strap posts on my M17, now I know how so thanks for making this very useful and informative vid. Love the camo finish 👌
Nice! I love these Stahlhelms tons. Can you do a showcase of your helmet collection? I am rather curious :)
Same, I'm interested to see what sort of helmets you have.
Great idea!

Такой окраски не попадались
@Luc Your profile pic is too cute 😋
каски 3 или четыре нашел , копаю войну а реставрировать не могу и это дорого. спасибо !!!
Мечтаю по войне сходить но живу не там а реставрировать приходилось и рогачи и со второй я бы не сказал что уж дорого разве краску намешать в правильный Рал.
Big Fan Bro Big Fan♥️ This is a masterpiece. Congratulation from Vietnam.😉👍🍺
Excellent job on this !! It looks amazing.
Beautiful restoration!
Hi, I have a helmet like that just a little worn, but what I use it doesn't have to look so good, but it's fit for purpose. And I've never seen this artistic precision yet! WWII Tube Restoration so never stop videoing and the restoration of these beautiful historical objects! 👍
Very nice restoration. Bring back to life a piece of history. Congrats from Brazil.
Ficou uma bosta 😅
This is so relaxing to watch. Great job on the helmet 👌🏻
He Destroy it
Congratulazioni! Il lavoro di restauro di questo elmo tedesco è stato fantastico! Good job! 👍👍👏👏
Some parts are close to how I would’ve done it, others are completely out of my league, I wouldn’t even dream of it, very good work! 👏👏👏👏👏
I like it. Very smooth. Здорово получилось!
ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT RESTORATIONS ..WITH THE WRONG PAINT....
It's a ww1 helmet, they are supposed to have that paint, it is historically accurate good sir
@@THE_NEW_CRUSADER Green it will be accurate as well..
My grandfather was force conscripted into German army. After he built his house after coming back, he used a german helmet for 40 years to empty out the septic tank. I asked him to give it to me after sewer renovation in the 90’ and he went into a rage fit over it. That thing disappeared soon after that. I never saw it again. Last I remember it was still in quite a good condition. Much better than the one in the video.
IMPRESIONANTE !!!! QUE TRABAJO !!! QUE MARAVILLA !!!!❤
Wow! Nice work and video of the process!
I was dubious about restoring the helmet when it appeared to be little more than rust, but I'm mightily impressed.
Awesome work, awesome channel. Keep it up!
Beautiful work!
Fantastic work, great helmet when you finished, amazing 👍
Well done. History does come alive with patience and skill.
На мой взгляд с таким коммуфляжем на каске ты становишься лакомым кусочком для снайпера!!
It's amazing restoration!👍
Great restoration. 👍
Nice, my favorite stahlhelms
Awesome, love it!
Wow, this is amazing! You are very talented. Crazy how destroyed the helmet looked on beginning... Even if I don't like the paintjob too much tbh. It looks kinda weird... Kinda cartoony. But I would buy him from you!
I do agree with you on how that paintjob was goofy looking, however it is historically accurate.
Amazing work, congratulations!
Wonderful job... thoroughly enjoyed.
Beautiful restoration!!
Amazing job ! Bravo 👏
Incredible...... When I saw the condition it was in I didn't think it could be restored..... Wonderful skills.... 👍👍👍👍👍
define restored? he candy coated a turd.
@@13christbane see come on....be fair....he made it look brand new from 2 rusted old helmets.... That's one mighty fine turd
После войны такие в качестве туалетных горшков использовали. :-)))
А обычные горшки на голову надевали?
@@bobpolanski5419 а обычных горшков не было в деревне, поэтому использовали эти колпаки. Ещё их использовали как говночерпий для сортиров.
Phenomenal job! That flared edge has a Star Wars baddie vibe to it!
That’s cause the Empire is based on the Germans in WWII
What a great restoration, and TRUE paintwork like the original might have had! 👍🇬🇧
Забавно, ты поставил тряпку британской мрази, а при переводе текста - эта тряпка становится тряпкой РФ .
This is awesome! One question though, would you happen to know how to replace one of the missing ventilation horns?
Тут по-моему то и металла нет, однако все получилось! Well done!
Très beau travail !!! World War 1 helmet's. Magnifique
Awesome man, great job
Very nice job! Congrats!
Amazing! great work!
Man This not a restoration This is an remake haha Awesome job bro ❤️
;)
remade with body filler.
It's still in there
Awesome work 🤩🔝👍
Why does the welder fan sound like an air raid siren, lmao.
Really nice work, keep it up!
Simplesmente uma belissima restauração 🤝🤝🤝
Thought you were gonna sand down the camo paint job to a smooth finish but I suppose that's how it would of looked originally, outstanding work none the less...
Amazing Restoration 👍🏽👍🏻👍
Amazing work!
Das ist absolut krass 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Tarnung wie Original... Klasse 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻. Eine der besten Restaurationen, die ich bisher gesehen habe ☺️
This person is a fing metal wizard keep it up this is awesome and I have to say must have taken you many hours which I respect
Fantastic work. But I have questions. What type of car putty used? Also, what became of the discarded helmet bits?
what a transformation, great job
The lugs look like something that should be coming out of Frankenstein's neck. Great work!
This is honestly one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen.
you are easily impressed.
Verry Nice restauration ! Congratulations !!!!
Сначало по ржавчине варил ,а потом пескоструил гениально , настоящий блогер
А потом окончательно изуродовал, покрасив по-попугайски.
Их так красили в свое время
@@bobpolanski5419 я согласен. Раньше других вариантов не было. Но сейчас хаки можно нанести красиво, как в фильмах и нормалек был бы.
Отличный шлем Дарт Вейдера))) Столько работы и спецсредств я думаю версия автора будет стоить дороже чем оригинальный складского хранения. Видео лайк!
Да. Именно Дарт Вейдера. Кронштейны для крепления налобной броневой пластины есть... а самой пластины нет..... А складского хранения могут быть возможно только в Швейцарии - там войны не было, ни 1-й мировой и ни 2-й мировой и то, только в том случае если они закупались. В других местах после 2-х войн - тупо склады не сохранились ни то, что каски в них! ))))))))))))))))
@@vladimirvladimirovich3528 мой знакомый заказывал со склада в Венгрии, в районе 30 тыр, знаю что есть в Румынии, но самые зачётные - турецкие, выпуск был ограничен, характерной особенностью является отсутствие козырька. Да и во время второй мировой их выдавали обозникам и резервистам, у меня такой есть, в деревне валялся на чердаке, почти склад)))
@@alekseialekseevic3541 По доброму завидую! Более ничего не могу сказать.
Awesome result,an artist..!
Отличная работа! Но зачем было раскрашивать !?) Зелёный цвет ему самый раз
Cause that’s the original look
@@krak2889 Okay, I wont argue.
As I watched this, I felt IAM the one who restored, what an amazing achievement..
Well said
wooow!!:) brawo za pomysł i wytrwałość w naprawie!!:)
I realized that this German Nazi soldiers iron helmet, was first in the very worst shape ever. It had rust holes merely everywhere, even bumpy rust spots as well. 😳
Very beautiful. Thank you. Danke.
Thanks for watching my channel
👌 superbly done.
Thank you, amazing
Is that the way it’s supposed to be painted? Your restoration was unbelievable!
Yes it is!
I guess they used to pain them just like he did for camouflage! 😊
В каком жалком состоянии была каска :( видимо она много лет пролежала в земле или даже в воде. Круто вернули ее к жизни
A true Master craftsman.
Wow...Amazing skill,I like it 👍👍👍
Beautiful work
Man you are good great work
Stunning!!!
Now he,s a skilled craftsman.
Exceptional work
Nicely done.
Очень крутая работа!
Who knows how he does it?😮That's amazing, isn't it?👍
Работа отменная. Но на мой взгляд лучше было оставить оригинальный единый цвет искусственно его состарив в ёмкости с камешками и песком.
