Quote:I would never try to make anything out of metal or anything like that, but a lot of other stuff seems way over priced (like 70 dollar tunics, 90 dollar belts, etc...), do you think I could make some of this stuff myself?
I'm pretty sure a tunic would be easy, but some of the other things seem a bit more complicated, do you think I should try anyways?
Most wholeheartedly, I'd say YES!! I started The Venetian Cat Studio because someone asked me if I could make some Samian Ware and amphoras for them since there weren't any historically accurate pottery reproductions in the USA. And I never knew just how much I LOVED doing historical reproduction pottery until I just "did it". Now I even do Greek and Celtic, but I digress...
Under Richard Campbell's post, there is a link for Legio XX, and there, Matt Amt has all kinds of clear, easy-to-understand instructions. And best of all he's historically accurate.
Good luck and have fun!
