Crispvs,
Thanks for the informative reply. In our prospective groups discussions, the three of us (we are very small at the moment hehe) discussed many things that will have an effect on the time frame we will end up with. The major ones are cost and availability of the parts of our kits, followed closely by the "appearance" of the kit that each of us seems to prefer. Its somewhat less of a factor for myself as I am working up a centurio impression, but my legionaires very much like the segmentata, especially the Corbridge type which tends to push us a few years back form our original thoughts. How common was it still in the original time frame we listed? Has it declined quite a bit by that time and before the Newstead has made its appearance?
I have the feeling though, that it is going to come down to cost and ease of availability for us at least to start with. The helms and other parts should be a non-issue, but if we have start commissioning more and more parts then the cost may move quickly out of our range.
Again, thank you for the info, you have given us more food for thought as we prepare to get our little venture off of the ground. :wink:
