Good evening.
With the laminated pieces of the back protector, "Shikoro",they are then assembled. As well started on the main part of the helmet, "Kabuto".





When complete, the Shikoro is then attached to the Main part of the Helmet ,"Kabuto".





When dry it was time to install the decoration and the family crest to the helmet. The template would have had me install the crest in the vertical, when all reference material shows it in the horizontal. This was easily fixed.







Next up is to work on the Face Mask, "Mempo".





I did not like the supplied mustache for the Mempo. It just did not look accurate. I replaced this with a piece of wool. This looks a lot better.





The finished Mempo is then applied to the Kubato.





This completed assembly was then placed on top of the armour stand.



This is where I am at this evening.
Next up is the leg armour.
