Of course, the 1st Century Army set the standards for the laters to (try) to live up to! :mrgreen:

Really great metalwork! You said it was "covered in brass", does that mean like electro- or dip plating, or some other process? Curious about the screw. Is that temporary? Either way, most excellent work.

Looing good.
A brass cover is nothing to worry about I guess, since the orignial would habe been in gilded silver, which would look pretty similar.
Though I also someimes dream about a Spangenhelm with gold sheet covering.

Well, there is that polish which leaces a silver plating on copper alloys!
Certainly a cheaper alternative than siver sheeting. The stuff Tarbicus came up with.

Beautiful reproduction. I'm also looking to get a Concesti helmet as my next late roman helmet.

Quote:Go to the market place section and talk to Cezar, who sees Comitatus as an advertising tool 
He willbe able to give you the correct prices etc.
But, and it's a big but, don't just put these helmets on a shelf. They deserve to be used. Get yourself a horse and kill something. :twisted:
Whats a shelf? :? Time for every thing, still waiting on a Gallic I, then possibly will get one of these!
As for the horse, oddly, I was dreaming about riding one the other night.....now if I can manage to be half as amazing as in that dream :roll: I'll be doing something :lol:
