Brilliant additions Jyrki!!

NOT! Auxilia palatina, at the least, or schola perhaps. For a dux you need a decorated sagum, I think. And a gilded torc! Wink

Looking good, so what's next (apart from the pretty cloak decor of course) ;-)

Nice to see the Squamata finally arrived!

Where did the Greaves come from, I've just got a plain Kunzig pair and notice yours appear to be beautifully embellished!

The shield is also a lovely item, your own artwork.

I can reccommend Claire Marshall if you wanted a decorated Sagum, exceptional quality of work!

Really excellent impression.

Thanks Marc!

In fact I have something coming from Claire! The greaves are Deepeeka's hippika gymnasia greaves with knee caps cut off...

Cool one! The colour combinations look really nice,especially in the snow, but I must admit I liked your old armour better, it was more unique...

Thanks Kai! In fact I would love to find a suitable lorica musculata to go with this impression...

Cracking kit!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

Hi Moi! The spatha (without the scabbard) is from pommel to the tip 89 cm...

I think it is time that RAT got the necessary permissions and published a calendar for 2013 and beyond. How many themes could be achieved? It could raise some revenue for upkeep of the site and organisations of RAT conferences? Or is it just too hard?

lovely work ladies and gents Big Grin
