You'll have to convert the 3ds file to an m2 file (check resources forum for converters)
You need to create another displayID in the DBCs
Add that displayID to your item.
Put modified dbcs + model inside a patch.

Profit!


Those are the main steps, if your a beginning model editor i'd suggest you first try some other stuff to get familiar with wow's file structure and everything.
(also dont forget to put the correct mountpoint on the helmet)

and with the converter, what they mean with  "how many textures do you want", "please enter textflag", "texture type", "texname"? what are the effect of it.

You should know how many textures etc if you made the model yourself.

And if you do some research, you can see that the item in item.dbc gets the displayID from ItemDisplayInfo.dbc and you had the bad luck to choose a helmet so you will also need to edit HelmetGeosetVisData.dbc

you should try to look for stuff yourself, instead of asking right away.
