Great helm?

Post by Halberds »

I always think they don't get the nose bridge at the oculars right.
Shouldn't it crease in more at the space between the sights?
Sample pic for photo shop guys....of generic crusaders helm:

Just my thoughts on it... and looking for guidance.

Have fun

Not only, the ocularia are ever horizonal, while in originals they were heavily slanted downward sideways.

I think this shows the downward slope of the helmets of that period.
