Fantastic- great work! My bet is that a publisher will see that and it will appear on the cover of a book within the year!

Jurjen,

Who made the helmet? It looks like the Xanten. Do you have closer photos of it or the website of the person who made it?

I have to agree your impression is awesome Cool

Hmmm, that helmet reminds me of something.....
