Nice helmet. It looks good to me. If it was mine, I would not add any brass. It's beautiful as it is.

I know this has just been debated and I am against the use of certain symbols which can cause offence, but denis's brooches look well made. You must be very commited to our hobby.

I`m with Paul here! I have never seen a helmet type like this reconstructed plainly from iron, it would look cool too :wink: ...

Very nice work on the helmet. Did you do it yourself?

Re: Recreating a legionair beginning 3rd Century - gneuspartak - 08-28-2009

Helm? Not self..A.Gusev,work by russian young master. its not finish work. my plan will include tin and a brass. Like "Frankfurt" helm

Re: Recreating a legionair beginning 3rd Century - Gaius Julius Caesar - 08-28-2009

Yes, it will look good when finished. A talent on the rise then!

New version third century roman tunic.
Wool like home spinning.
Clavi- wool.

Re: Recreating a legionair beginning 3rd Century - Iosephus - 09-10-2009

Denis,

I like your tunic. The clavi are separate pieces of wool sewn on, aren't they?

That makes me think about something:
we know that most of the clavi were woven into the fabric of the tunic during construction.
Did anyone try to paint the clavi pattern on the tunic instead of sewn-on patches of textile or embroidery and reconstruct the patterns that way ?

I think I can remember Aitor did something similar with his tunic decoration

No, its fabric decorations, embroidery from my design.
The woollen thread simulates weaving.

Yes, its his idea

Thanks Jef! It is one of Jean-Olivier Bourbon's shields. With some help from Christian and photos of his shield, I started out basing the design on one of the Dura shields. I have since changed the umbo to one of the Deepeeka 'Axel Guttmann' repoussé ones which looks very good on this shield.
