thanks everyone!  

many thanks to you, WM and the osprey plate too!
(very interesting 'top-knots' so I should try one but too bad our klicky earrings are oversized even for a germanic klicky  

spiked hair?! maybe PM might come out with a skateboarder with coloured spiked hair  

youre absolutely correct in that I'm interested in only a general interpretation (just like my red indians, I cant differentitate mohawks from cheyennes etc)
Library? oh no....even our largest chain of bookstores do not carry Osprey...you can imagine that there's hardly anyone here interested in ancient european wars..maybe some kids wargaming on their PCs but they have no money or interest in historical accuraccy.
(I just dont want my custom to look neither this nor that nor historically impossible
