A very nice centurio! Well done. Where did you get those beautifull head phalerae?

Good impression, the one with the gatehouse is very atmospheric!
Excellent!

You look bloody frozen Paul!
Looking good despite the inclemency of the weather up there!

Looking sharp! And a little cold...

You might consider some nice wooly udones, Centurio. Wouldn't hurt a thing. Or at least a wrap of sheepskin inside the caligae. Does all kinds of good things for the feet.
Great job on the kit.

Thanks all , yes it was cold but I do my workshop in the C/O's house with modern central heating so aint to bad . I often wonder what the lads stationed along the Hadrians wall would have thought about those long freezing cold days and nights on the frontier - not the best of postings I think .

Especially a winter like this one!

Are you the Paul that William M Hall has been telling me about?
Just seems coincidental that you are wearing the same amount of phalerae as me and in the same pattern. Will was joking about superhero status or something :lol:
I bought mine from Len as well, except 2 lions and 3 roundells, but in the exact same positions
hock:

Hi Phillip , I cant say if Iam the same Paul you have been told about as 1/ Idont know what you have been told and 2/ I dont think I know William Hall so I cant answer mate sorry .

No worries.
I haven't mounted my phalerae yet, and seeing as we are running the same configuration, I was wondering if you might be able to PM me some pix of your Phalerae harness architecture front and back?
I'd really appreciate it,
Regards,
Phillip

Nice impression Paul! I am planning of doing a "frozen Danube" impression in the middle of the snow with my 4th century kit. By Jove it`s good to have longer tunics & trousers :wink: ...
