先看看1/1实物的照片是怎么样的：

上个世纪里，美军参加了世界上几乎所有的战争。美国大兵最重要的标志就是M1钢盔。这种钢盔被美军使用了40多年，直到第一次海湾战争的沙漠风暴行动前，才被新型的凯夫拉头盔取代。从赤日炎炎的北非沙漠，到冰天雪地的欧洲山区，以及东南亚的原始森林，还有荒芜的太平洋群岛，M1钢盔一直伴随着美国大兵。它们被广泛地使用，用来烧饭煮汤，甚至当作尿壶。

改什么呢，就是改头盔两侧的系带环，要把原来的塑料环去掉，换上金属的。

现在就来看看这个作者的改造过程中，加上英文原文，我就不翻译了。：）

STEP 5
Sewing the Left strap

You need some extra webbing for this operation.Mine comes from Soldat 002 which was sold with a long extra webbing.
Sew the buckle first as shown on the right. Only a straight horizontal sewing above the buckle.
Then sew the left strap on the D-ring. Only a straight horizontal sewing under the D-ring. This strap must be about 2,5mm long.

Cut the strap 2 mm after the sewing. Then use a match to "burn" the end.

Note that this is not the exact way the strap were done in reality. In fact, they were also attach to the liner. Maybe I'll do that in the future.

STEP 6
Sewing the Right strap.

Put the buckle on the strap first. Then sew the right strap on the D-ring.
Before sewing, be sure the strap is long enough to be attach on the back of the helmet.
Cut the strap. Burn the end.
