As in, no, you'd like a hundred of them, not just one? :P

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Actually, I'd have no real use for a 100.. On this particular item, one would do  :o  I mean, MAYBE 2.. But it's one of those BIG helmets.. and quite specific..

I intend to cut down on them a lot....  but romans... well...  :love: :love:

HEY!
Here's the next batch!!  :woohoo:

First the Thracian or Thraex. With a custom shield and helmet. I was mistaken on the name of this helmet last time. The Mirmillo will follow and it's different.



Then, the Secutor, another all time favourite of mine. Had to adapt the feathers, because I'd made the holes too small. still need to make the crosses before the eyes thicker...I'm afraid this gladiator will be almost blind!



Then, here's my own Holpite helmet. It needs to come lower on the eyes, and maybe the crest is too big?





And now, I know Cheng has been waiting for this one...I give you...the Japanese Jingasa!


Simple but efficient!

ANd last but not least, the Mirmillo helmet, with both plume crest and feathers! (Same problem occured as with the Secutor).



Goodnight!

doko yoi-desu!! this(jingasa) is fantastic!
the 'hairs' of the holpite helmet actually have separated strands...this is something not possible with moulding! :love:
and speedo-dad, well used and his 'leather' straps looks original....well done Arnaud!
...this is your new frontier, 3D printing....to be surprisedd even more ;D

sure looks better and better in colour ;) and we'll be wondering what final color you'll spray them with...unless you're planning to keep them as masters and spray only those replicated from moulds made from these masters.
and YOI! I'm sure he didnt drop his Jingasa by accident ;D
Arnaud, is this 3D white material soft like our klicky's hair(then difficult to sand) or is it brittle?
