Recreating a legionair beginning 3rd Century
#24
sseverus,

I am on a roll now, now that I have just figured how to get some nice close up images posted on to RAT.

This type of helmet would also be suitable for what you wish to portray. What Robinson classed an Aux Cav E. Current thinking is though, it was actually an infantry helmet. I would avoid Deepeeka E, but their D is quite good after a few very simple modifications.

I have changed the padding method since this picture was taken. It is sitting far too high on my head. The bowl rim now sits at eyebrow level. This also closes the gap between the bottom of the cheekpieces and the gorget considerably.

[I have made you look like you're really on a roll, Andrew, and put the image tags in, so it shows in your post. JO]
