Nice.......I see you bought the dodgy pilum though! :wink:
Welcome to RAT, looks like a good effort on the whole!
Which helm are you wearing? Can't quite make it out!
Good to see you in the authentic location!

Hi , Yeh the pilum is gonna get sorted soon . The helmet is the Gallic I Aquincum . The photo was taken outside Arbeia Fort at south shields where I work as Historical Interpriter for the schools that come but photoshop had a hand in the final pic . The pilum was bought in a hurry but will get sorted out as I say .

Sorry, I'm harping on am I? My apologies. I was at Arbeia last year, quite an interesting place. The commanders villa and the gate house are good reconstructions.....would be cool to see the whole fort rebuilt!
But I am rambling on......Good impression mate!

It would be fantastic to see the whole fort rebuilt . There is talk of a revamp and compulsory purchase orders of houses around the fort but it probably just talk .
