Cheek Protectors

Samurai warriors use different plates hinged onto various parts of armour to protect vulnerable places from attacks this certain part of armour is a Cheek protector it hinges on the helmet and protects the neck to the cheek area.

This is the hinge i will be be using to connect the cheek protectors to the helmet and if i need to use hinges anywhere else on the character this will be the hinge i use.
