:S
Be sure to make that facemask a plane, and yea, I had the same problems too with my computer. I couldn't do anything with it because it would freeze if I used video drivers(motherboard got damaged).
 
To be honest I don't think the Romans would have used that cavalry helmet in combat with the mask as well,which was more likely for ceremonial purposes. So perhaps make a version of it without the mask.

I'm not directing this at the people making the practice (?) models but the mod team in general.

.....And somehow the U disappeared. I'll show the full letters later.
 
@ jezza

teutoburg forest 9 a.d. for example
Publius Quinctilius Varus has worn it
they found the mask some years ago

Fairplay,but will this be a general and standard bearer helm because I think it unfit for the main cavalry.

I'm not denying their use,I'm just saying that it is improbable that the majority of cavalry would have worn such an impractical piece of armour and as such well...it would look quite good on the praetorian cavalry,but it really is an unnecessary expense that I doubt the Romans would wish to bestow on any more than the most upper tier of cavalry units.

TL;DR Only praetorian cavalry should use it and standard bearers of the cavalry.
 
Hand(Front side) and parts of ropes textured. Pictures showing the back of the hand would be appreciated as well as close ups of letters on bronze squares of the signum. I'm not sure if the latin letters are correct or not.

This signum is for the posterior Signifer, there will be a spear topped one for the Prior Signifer.
Give props to Rglcotl for making the laurel as well as convincing me to help you guys out some more.

That isn't a cavalry helmet, it's an infantry helmet. Yep, nobody except maybe some banner holders would use that helmet in battle.
