I'll deal with each of your questions in turn.
1 - as far as we know the shield is as accurate (visually at least as I don't have it here to inspect personally) as any other reconstructed shield.
2 - Florentius has a good page on how he does his edging: http://www.florentius.com/scutumedging.htm
3 - The was almost certainly no standard colour for tunics. The Romans do seem to have been very concerned about cloak colours though.
4 - The thread should have been posted in the Re-enactment and Reconstruction forum. Can you try to get it moved to there?
