Good posts guys, but shall we do this in a separate thread about lamellar?


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Titus Martius - 06-20-2006

Hi folks!

Building up my first legionary kit...Possibly nothing special but a great joy for me.

Ave,Titus Martius,
Nice start. I assume that's the new Gallic- G
you're sporting. I recognize the balteus,too.
Your tunica looks very nice. Is it wool?
Overall,very nice.


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Commilito - 06-20-2006

very nice starting kit Titus. Where did you get the parts for the baeltus? The RGZM ones are monsters.


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Titus Martius - 06-20-2006

Thanks.

Tunic is coarse linen - 125x125 cm

Cingulum is unfortunately RGZM monster Smile , but I bought it for very good price and I use only 4 straps.

Titus,

Looking good so far. The dimensions of the tunic look particularly good.

Send me a PM if you want some simple instructions on how to make the depeeka pugio look more accurate. I can give you some tips on simple sheaths as well.

Very nice Andrew. Those greaves look fantastic!

Regards,


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Tarbicus - 06-25-2006

Andrew, those greaves turned out great. Nice job. What's going on with the Ribchester?

Titus, your impression has a nice feel about it. How are you finding the big tunic?

Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Peroni - 06-26-2006

Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Robert Vermaat - 06-26-2006

Oh, great-looking squamata!!
Where did you get the inspiration of the semi-circular top? Is that attached to the let or not?
Is it attached to leather or maybe linen?
Where do you fasten it? Left side or back?
I'm particularly jealous of that fine leather piping, which mine completely lacks... Cry

Here's mine:


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Peroni - 06-26-2006

Thanks Robert.

The shoulder section is attached to the main body of the shirt, just the same way that the torso section is. (scales linked with 1mm brass wire then sewn on to the backing with artificial sinew thread). The backing is made of thick linen canvas.

It fastens down the left side with a leather thong. I left a V opening in the back of the collar to allow for putting it on which fastens with a wooden toggle

The leather edging is a must to stop chafing! (Particularly around the arm holes!)
