More work in progress

[Praefectusclassis]

Hi guys,<br>
Advice please I've never seen (or at least, I have no photographs) a slinger releasing his sling. Is this figure approaching a convincing attitude? With his left hand he's supposed to hold up a fold in his tunic (like on Trajan's column) with slingbullets and perhaps an oval shield in his hand.<br>

And next, this is my 90mm Aquilifer (by Soldiers Luchetti) only just started. <img src="http://www.romanarmy.com/RATstuff/aquilifer90mm.jpg" style="border:0;"/> <p>Greets<br>

Thanks for that site.<br>
Hmmm, I think I need to make him crouch a lot more and maybe turn his wrist, right? <p>Greets<br>

as usual both look great. Are you making that slinger yourself?, wow.<br>
<br>
Must admit that my finished legionairs also look good (alas i have no digital camera...) <p></p><i></i>

Just wanted to let everyone interested in slings that the forum on www.slinging.org has been setup. I know it's hard to get the ball rolling with things like a forum because who wants to join an empty one?! That’s why I ask my fellow slinging (or even throwing) enthusiasts to register for an account and generate a bit of discussion. I would greatly appreciate it.<br>
<br>
You can get to the forum by going to www.slinging.org and clicking the forum link on the left.<br>

Thanks!<br>
