Thanx man! I try my best to look rigid :wink: !
I think I owe Peroni alot because it is his advice and he who has made the subarmalis and the belt.

[Martin Wallgren]

Hehe, those Pterugies looks familiar!

[Peroni]

I'll post some pictures of my Krefeld helmet reconstruction later for those who wish to portray a more 'Ethnic' look! :wink:

[Peroni]

Here it is.. The Krefeld reconstruction! The guys in my group have another name for it which I just cannot post here! :wink:
As you can see, all the hairy little critter wants to do is hump the bowl!! :lol:

My impression isn't ready yet, but here my first show as batavian warrior.



I hope to finish some more 'batavian' projects later this year.

My impression isn't ready yet

At least you live in Nijmegen, a.k.a. Batavodurum, a.k.a. Municipium Batavorum.

My impression isn't ready yet

At least you live in Nijmegen, a.k.a. Batavodurum, a.k.a. Municipium Batavorum.

And that's why I think I really have to do Batavian impressions.

Could you tell me more about this helmet? What do you base its reconstruction on? Did a whole unit wear it? Burial find? Its pretty cool.....---john

Sure it is very cool. I hope I'll soon have one too

Here you can go for Peroni/Adrian his artickle about 'batavian' helmets

But note that the reproduction in Figure 8 is outdated and wrong. Recent research has showed that the pattern of the horsehair was different as showed in this reproduction.
