Sorry for asking again but any chance you could record the process  for one helmet and upload it to somewhere ?
Those textures look absolutely gorgeous !

Thanks! Will try to make one on the next celtic helmet or the crow itself.

The 4 helmets on the left row of B is the "Celtic Montefortino Helmet" (later also used by the Romans).

The 4 helmets on the right row of B is the "Coolus Helmet" (later also used by the Romans)

C looks like the Ciumesti helmet, without the raven crest, essentially a ceremonial variation of the Montefortino type

Conical helmets seem to be known as the Marne type and the Berru type

I'd take another look at the exact shape of the Berru type:

The darker helmet on the far right looks like a Bronze Age Villanovan or Urnfield culture helmet (crested helmet/kamhelm).

 

Don't know if you've ever seen these beautiful ceremonial types before:

Some of it I believe are Etruscan, could've been looted by the Celts. Would be very useful and serve more purpose, so carry on. :) Plus it is referenced in the images that they used it, similar to how Hannibal's veterans equipped themselves with the battle gear of the Roman legion in his campaign.

These ones are indeed Villanovan/Etruscan crested helmets (bronze age). The rest are Celtic though, except for the other crested Urnfield Culture helmet, which is also Bronze Age (pre-Celtic).

This one looks a bit like an awkward mix between the Coolus and the Roman Imperial Gallic Helmet. 

For it to look like the classic Coolus with cheek guards, it should look more like this:

This is the B3

This is the Meyrick helmet.

This bronze helmet used to be thought of as an Ancient British helmet, however the label in the display case now attributes it to a Roman, or a Briton serving in the Roman army, due to the Roman numerals engraved on the side.
