Avete Omnes,<br>
This is my impression as it stands today. Not quite finished, but it gives the general impression of a mid 2nd century Legionaire. Updated Newstead pattern, Braccae (I'm really happy with these), retrofit cross braced helmet, the much debated pteruges, and full shoes. My balteus needs some updating- very old fashioned, cing. a bit long, crescents not so ideal with pteruges. Incidentally, I am using the Junkleman shield carriage here. I didn't think it could be made to work, but... very successfull. I intend to detail my experience with it shortly.<br>

Hope you like it,<br>
