Wow, that's rather fantastic in its own way! Now try getting a four horn saddle on it! Big Grin

Actually I had 4 I hoped I could get using some day. Even before I started thinking of doing cavalry I was thinking about dromadirius impression. Unfortunatelly the museum I've been working for the last 10 years is now temporarily closed and sold their dromedaries... But I'm sure I'll once put on here a serious reconstruction of a dromedarius desert trooper. Not sure how long it will take, though.

Your impression would make quite an impression as you mingled in with the cavalry. Might be the most memorable time of the show, eh? :wink: Confusedhock:

Yes, I agree! Your sword looks interesting. Any photos of it?

A very good impression. The belt and sword look particularly good. It is as if scale armour, cavalry helmet, manica, greaves and dog tents are all getting de rigueur for the period.
