The first rule of Viking helmets is: there are no horns on Viking helmets.
The second rule of Viking helmets is… there are NO HORNS on Viking helmets!

So they're actually wings like in Asterix and Obelix's helmets?

All about horns here Richard. Blame opera!

Did Vikings really wear horned helmets? | HISTORY

Forget almost every Viking costume you’ve ever seen. Yes, the pugnacious Scandinavians probably sported headgear when they marched into battle, but there’s no reason to believe it was festooned with horns. In depictions dating from the Viking age—between the eighth and 11th centuries—warriors...

Complex figure this one Steve. Building up nicely though isn’t it

Thanks Tim, that was enlightening...so I should discount the wings too.

[Steve Brodie]

discount the wings as well, the danes were the ones adorned their helmets, vikings never did.

Nope, but I would do another one, maybe a black armour version, have tried to play with the reds so it’s not just a blob of a single colour lol

As Maria sings quite eloquently in the sound of music ‘let’s start at the very beginning’ lol , it’s quite an easy piece to put together if you think logically

 

[Tim Marlow]

Looking very fine Steve. Great job putting interest into the red colour scheme, which is not the easiest colour to use well.

 

[rtfoe]

Looking good Steve, Japanese Samurai armour is really intricate and no way you can color by numbers. Reds are nice.

Look very fine Steve. Certainly a stunning subject for a painter to work on.
