Thanks Robert!
All your critics are right of course, the legionary should belong to the first half of the century so the baldric might be still in use, about the helmet yes, yes, and yes you're right again, but I liked the idea of a more imponent Intercisa!
- About subarmalis, I've tought to a padded subarmalis with with pteruges of linen, I tought: 'if this man has also a mail armour, he doesn't need pteryges on the sleeves....'
- About Leather musculata: this is a precise voluntary choice, nobody can exclude the use of cheap leather musculatae, but I wasn't able to imagine them, and because I make my drawing to help to see an imagine the past, I told myself: 'If you aren't able to imagine the look of a Later Roman Legionary with Musculata, draw it!' So this is what I did, and now I can see... I can imagine, and IMHO it works!
Really Honoured by your comments Robert, ans happy to read your post! I'll try to follow your suggestions, but let me dream my musculatae! :cheer:
