Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Virilis - 11-04-2007

Thanks guys! In fact I have already made an oval of plywood 12 mm thick and 110 cm high(heavy, yes!). I will get an umbo and finish it by the next spring...

Robert, I have so-and-so Burgh castle helmet and in fact it is not all that horrible :wink: ! Spatha-wise I have some cunning plans too...

Yes Jim, that's the one, not so much smaller, just round as opposed to oval. Just remembered the difference but not the details.

What spatha did you get Robert?

If this is the photo, it looks hunky-dory to me.

Hunky-dory? It means 'top banana', or 'just fine'.

I've just found a new toy to play with. After an hour using the 4 horned saddle, I'm now in the process of looking for a new groin :lol:

They called General Custer "hardass" because he could stay in the saddle so long.
