Celtic Boar standard

[Folkert van Wijk]

Thanks guys for the kind words, especialy Lucius

Congratulatiosn, it's a very nice work, and gives too a very realistic and convincent looking. When we make real objects it's easier, because we only have to copy them. But you have made not only a recreation of what a celtic standard colud have be made; You have made an object of art, because is your creation, and it's very beauty. Often we have seen so many things hypotethical made but without any credibility. Yours have 100% of credibility.

Probably if roman, the boar were painted... But i like more that nice contrast between wood, gold and coral.

Best regards...

What you wrote, Lucius, for me reflexes one of the differences between Celtic and Roman reenactment and their reënactors. Although there's a lot of information about Celtic finds and such, it's still more difficult and I think more expensive to get them in comparation with Roman stuff. The same goes for reproductions to buy. On one hand this makes it more interesting and more of a challenge, on the other hand it does take more time, effort and money to get stuff up to the same standard that Roman reënactors do, I think….
While trying to avoid the pitfall of making "fantasy" stuff, yes it does at the same time give some more room for improvising and creativity which I like...
Oh yeah and this forum and the things you people make does inspire me to raise the bar...
So thanks again guys for the kind words, the laudes and the inspiration…
