Wax modeling and casting of our models!

[Rado]

Signum Capricorn is finished !Cleaning and polishing.We obtained a great metal cast quality !Each part , each scale is treated separately.

[Rado]

I try to get close to that fresco from Landesmuseum Mainz -Caius Valerius Secundus from 2nd half 1st AD .But it can be used from any Legion that who uses Capricorn as a sign of his Legion.

[Rado]

Capricorn Height is about 200 mm. Wall thickness 3 to 4 mm brass. Weight 1.8 kg.

[Rado]

So I do the same here with Q.Lucius.Faustus from XIV Gemina 1st C AD. These both are the proven users of such type of Capricorn!There may be other artifacts and evidence but I do not know about them, unfortunately!

[Ammianus Marcellinus]

Gorgeous, accurate and ...Splendid ! i am interested in by such a standard for our own group ! If it is possible to order one, it should fit us a lot .

Again, congratulations , Rado !

Applique-Depicting the Head of Cupid. 1st AD
Once the I saw this pendant-application in a website (which I can not find now to give а link). I decided that this is a very beautiful article: it was described as: Applique-Depicting the Head of Cupid. 1st AD. Head of Cupid upon on 'dolphin-tail' crescent. Measures 44 mm by 34 mm. It will serve me for a belt pendants and other ornaments on clothes and military equipment.

These are the stages of my waxwork. I had to do some series ,while the succeed to get closer closer to the original.

[Rado]

From this picture can be seen that I did 3 sets of Cupid heads,to be able to get close to the facial image of the original.
