Issue 26

The mask is now complete. Although I am almost half way into my armour project, I now have my first finished part. There are still 2 more sets of plates to attach to the body of the armour, and the helmet still needs it's straps. Soon I will begin to work on the arms. I am looking forward to that, as it's the start of an all new part of the armour.

Anyway, about this issue. The first part involved finishing and attaching another set of plates. It's not my favourite part of the job, but I have become rather proficient at it. Attaching the neck guard was like a miniature version of attaching the bands to the helmet. As I have already done that, working on this part went smoothly. The helmet was difficult because of the large number of strings I had to work with. The neck guard had less strings, but they were closer together, so it was difficult because of the compact size.
