Hasta Pura Nomination - caiusbeerquitius - 10-29-2005 Dear RAT'ers, to get started with the Hasta Pura award, you are hereby called to nominate your fellow RAT'ers of which you think that they have or make great reconstructions. All nominees are then asked to post in the HAST PURA thread. link from old RAT I'm looking forward to see all the great stuff! Mithras - Arthes - 10-30-2005 I nominate Mithras for his late Roman soldier display and tent as I have seen this for myself... (if this is acceptable being members of the same group?) regards Arthes Re: Hasta Pura Nomination - Robert Vermaat - 10-30-2005 I concur! Mithras and his epic journeys are an example to us all!

So then please make your presentation in accordance with the Hasta Pura rules, as can be read here, or below: Quote:1. The Hasta Pura award will in future be given by a group of Forum Members. These Forum members are those who have received the award already, and me. We have a discussion bord, where we decide who will get the next Hasta Pura. Re: Hasta Pura Nomination - Martin Moser - 08-08-2006 Hi all, time for another Hasta Pura or two, no? I would like to nominate Aitor (artillery, Deurne shoes) and Cacaius (textiles, tools etc.) - perhaps you could present a piece of yours according to the rules set out above, guys? cheers, Martin Re: Hasta Pura Nomination - caiusbeerquitius - 10-03-2006 I would like to nominate John McDermott for a Hasta Pura. Re: Hasta Pura Nomination - Peroni - 10-03-2006 Quote:I would like to nominate John McDermott for a Hasta Pura. I don't in any way wish this to sound rude, especially to John, it may be my ignorance, but what items has John made? Re: Hasta Pura Nomination - caiusbeerquitius - 10-03-2006 Hm. Why does this play a role? It is also OK to get a Hasta Pura for objects you did not make yourself. You have to make a good presentation, though. Re: Hasta Pura Nomination - Peroni - 10-03-2006 Thanks Christian. I thought the Hasta Pura was just for items reconstructed by the nominee. Re: Hasta Pura Nomination - LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS - 10-04-2006 I think it's not the same to make a reproduction or to make a good choice of reproductiont to make a impression. So i think probably was better to make two kind of awards in order to mantain that distinction. There are a lot of very good impressions: Robert, Aitor, Faventianus, John Mac Dermott, Peroni, Gala Placidia, and a long etc... They haven't make all his equipment (nor me) but have had a good choice in assembling parts for amke a good impression. But that's probably my personal opinion.... :roll: Re: Hasta Pura Nomination - Robert Vermaat - 10-04-2006 So if I make a good presentation of shoes made by Sarah Juniper I might get the award? And if somebody else makes another presentation about the same object they can compete as well? So we are awarding object knowledge and presentation skills with this award, not metalcraft and such skills? I just never realised that. Re: Hasta Pura Nomination - caiusbeerquitius - 10-04-2006 Quote:So if I make a good presentation of shoes made by Sarah Juniper I might get the award?Well, yes and no. You probably would not be nominated for those shoes alone. If you are nominated, it is your own choice which object of yours you wish to bring in. Then you have to show your knowledge about it. Then your presentation has to stand before the jury. This point of the hasta pura was actually discussed in the mod forum, as far as I can remember. The idea is that not everybody is able to make a real reconstruction, I mean, propably noone really goes out there and moulds his own iron from ore found in a former roman mine. Most people simply buy their iron. It is difficult to draw a line here. Also, if I do research like hell to get info on, say, a roman cloak, look at the original, count the threads, investigate colours etc., and then tell someone who is a good weaver to make it for me modeled after the information gathered... you get the point, I guess. If I earn a lot of money and have things commissioned that otherwise would not be made, it´s a contribution to "reconstruction" as well, isn´t it? Doesn´t necessarily give you the hasta pura award, though. You still have to prove your knowledge. Again, reading the Hasta Pura rules also helps: Quote:3.: You must name who made the reconstruction, with what method(s), with what material(s), and you must name any compromises in material and reconstruction method that were made during creation of the object.

Re: Hasta Pura Nomination - Robert Vermaat - 10-04-2006 So to get this straight, the Hasta Pura is also for someone who makes a very good sword, but also for someone who does a very good impression of (say) a Roman soldier by buying very good replicas? The main thing is that you will have to make a presentation about your object(s) for a jury which will decide how well you know your stuff? If we nominate someone else, can they decline because they feel they don't know enough about their gear? And if we nominate someone else, do we have to say in advance what they are nominated for? For instance, what are you nominating Peroni for - what does have to defend in front of the jury? |
