Recieved the last of my scale from DSC through Armamentaria, thanks Ade!

One set will be used for a range of cavalry impressions,from Greek to Roman.
One for a Centurion Impression from the late republic/early princapate!

Can't say precisely but a fair bit lighter than mail!

Thanks Paul and Robert!

Robert, still using my old second version but I am hoping to have
a decent one started very soon.

BTW Robert, I posted this reply hours ago and it was gone...another one of
those I mentioned before. :?

Oooh! Very smart. Looking forward to the full impression pictures.

Well, thanks, but that could be a while. Confusedad:

I haven't mastered the art of taking my own picture, yet, but still have a lot of work to do for these kits! Still need to get riding lessonf underway too.
Had to cancel 2 sessions so far, due to work, and a siatica problem.
Still waiting for a reply for further dates..not looking good to be honest.

Where abouts in the World are you again, Byron? PM me if you'd rather keep it quiet :wink: (I know its UK...and to be honest sciatica and riding are not good bed fellows!!)

York, but still working In the North Sea!

No secret! :mrgreen: Center of the Roman world up north!
All roads lead to York etc etc

Sent dates mid December but no reply!
And I hate pestering people, as they tend to make you feel
Like a pest if you dare expect a reply from them more than once a year! :wink:
In general anyway

Well I did get a reply once, when I had to cancel...
I will try again. But they are pretty busy all the time, no?
