Salvete Omnes!
Here is a pic attached of my new Heteny-style helmet (of which I am quite satisfied with). My solution for the padding is a lamb skin "hat" (which is still commonly used here in Finland under the ski-doo helmets etc.). This kind of padding which extends to the cheeks also makes the helmet sit very nicely / tightly on your head. This hat also reminds some real examples like the arming cap found fro Dura Europos and the Didymos hat from Egypt. These "arming caps are quite inexpensive here, I have just taken off the modern parts like rivets etc. (http://www.hanskaheikki.fi/product_details.php?p=288) What do you think?
