Milanese bascinets - Hounskull revival

Version 2.8 released
Introduces 5 brand new bascinets into the game, overall 12 variants are available at Master Bushek the Elder's armoury in Kuttenberg.

The Coburg bascinet mod has now been merged into this mod (as of 2.5) as that is also a hounskull bascinet, if you have that mod installed you can now remove it.

Models
1. Milanese bascinet: A69 Wallace Collection bascinet
2. Missaglia bascinet (+ gilded and engraved version): CH16 Churburg skull (2 variants of skull) with A69 visor. This variant has a gilded option.
3. Missaglia bascinet - visor removed: Thouzon alterpiece skull shape
3. Snub-nosed Milanese bascinet (+ decorated version): based on modern reproductions, with brass trim.
4. Negroli bascinet: based on the Thouzon alterpiece reproduction by Platener.

Are these perfect virtual reproductions? No. However, they add some nice variety to the game and are better than the vanilla hounskull.


Installation
Unzip and drop in your Mods directory.

PSA
If you wear a hood the aventail will disappear. Until someone makes a hood that I want to wear with a bascinet and aventail, I'm not going to change this.

Thank you to Uriah for the starting model of the visor, and Lune for the blender toolkit and being so helpful in general. Also thanks to Casey for some texturing advice.
