    Nice truck.

    Hate to be the bearer of this news, but I'm pretty sure that no known actual Gladiator fought with a similar helmet. That looks more Greek/Spartan (Hoplite) in style.

    The Hoplomachus Gladiator type (the nearest to an an actual Hoplite soldier) had a different helmet (based on images that have survived) that is more similar to a Thracian style Gladiator.

    And yes, I am a geek and I could bore for England...

    But I like the inspiration for your graphics. Now I challenge you to make it more authentic. How about a Gallus/Murmillo style helmet?

    Mixed messages from the marketing men/women at Jeep. Gladiator, but 'RUBICON' on the bonnet? Colour me confused. Caesar famously crossed the aforementioned waterway in 49 BC at the head of the Legio XIII Gemina, whose mascot was a lion, so you could always just stick one of those on the side................

    This isn't really helping, is it?

    These posts are basically advertisements. You can find hundreds all on the same theme.

    You are unlikely to get a response as the poster just comes in, puts up 2-3 posts and departs for months.

    bit of a waste really, half arsed adverts and no community engagement means I ignore them and will steer clear when looking for a new cnc machine. Damn I miss my old one.

    Personally, I think they are more impressive from the front, but I did a quick search and found this:




    I know that the British Museum has a collection of actual Gladiator helmets. You could also try there.

    Default gladiator graphics

    no not helping but confusing, I think because the gladiator is new there is no real graphic for it , just what the owner might pick

    I did not like what I picked and removed it and a still looking
    I do like the one with the spear

    Still not an actual Gladiator though.

    The second photo is a mounted knight from the 14th or 15th century. The helmet is a little ill defined in the illustration. It could be a Sallet, Armet or Great Bascinet.

    Default tracing a paper copy and digitizing it and showing the vinyl cut for vehicle graphics

    taking a paper printout of a jeep icon , tracing the diagram top create a
    *.dxf file for a vinyl cutter to cut out and then apply this finished cut
    out to the gladiator rubican 2020
