Great Kallimache! I love it when i see new equipment added in every new event! Also it is great how you manage to modify cheap deepeeka helmets into much more bewutiful,accurate and interesting ones!
Now I'm waiting for the new muscled cuirass that I think is about to be added in your group...
Ah,and of course the nice female Etruscan impressions worth notice! Congratulations

We had our first event--this is me with Theron (Dan Copeland):
And here we are trying a little hoplomachia:
We had a dozen folks--but only two of us in kit!

Hi Kines. Congratulatios for your first event! Your shields look very nice. Therons looks on the deep side. I'd like to see more photos of these,and of their interiors mostly. The cap Theron wears,is it the one you made based on Achelles's?

Theron and I each have a cap--yes, I made them based on the Akilles vase painting.
I'll post some more interior shots tomorrow--and Aurora (Lorica) will be producing her own interior this week, I think.
Theron's shield may appear deeper, but it is to Matt's specs... in the spring we'll do another run of shield sand we may make them a little shallower, but the current design is well withing the norms as shown in contemporary art. Or so we think. Hard to know...
Boeotian helmets soon, we hope!

So yours and Theron's are of the same depth?It appears deeper than yours and Matts. I don't think you need to make them shallower than 15cm as you said is yours. Looking forward for the pics.
