Now the image is up. the red tunic underneath is rich blood red, coarsely woven. The brown cape ( hard to see) isnt attached authentically so if anyone can suggest how it was worn or attached to the segmentata. Teh gladius has a bone handle, and dagger are attached to the belt. I have three helmets and happened to use the one with the plume, though not tranversed. I also understand that a centurion would not have teh segmentata on either.
As stated before, the shield is being repainted as the red is far too bright and I wish to edge it in brass though have not found anyone who can reconstruct the correct look for the brass edging...any suggestions?
So feel free to pass comment as I wish to perfect this work in progress before it adorns my office foyer.
Im currwently working on a large painting depicting the 17th Legion's last stand at Kalkriese to hang on the wall behind the outfit. I will post the painting for review too.
