Fectio tower

[jkaler48]

I will built a small replica watch tower in my yard as part of my home castra project:
Here as a few photos of existing work:

Here's to good weather for the dedication. Why was the tower closed, Robert?

We had cold, grey but dry weather, just like we did 10 years ago.
The tower was closed due to lack of imagination/money/interest of the management. So far, that has not changed, although I really hope we showed that what can be achieved. At least we had a lot of fun. :-) We were with about 20 members from Fectio, Corbvlo, Leg. X Gemina and Felices seniores (The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium).
Here are some images from yesterday.

You guys look spectactular! I like the guy wearing the Lamellae in the 5th image.

It looks like you all use Medievaldesign too. I just got mine a few weeks ago, Saffron and Red just like the display image

Not all of us. The guy (Thiso) next to the guy in lamellae (Authari) wear one from the Felices seniores house-fabrica (Maebh).

Yeah I noticed that one. Still looks good. I like the use of different colors of thread in the embroidery on it.

No offense, but I don't think its a good idea to stick a sword like that in the ground...

Cool stuff.

As I told him so!! :-D

I still need to get a sword, I'm getting my spiculum for christmas. But the cheapest one I can get made is 250 bucks (which I have, but I have it assigned to paying Rusty for the work he did making my shoes and helmet plume)
