[Matthew Amt]

Oh, geez, this could take a while!

Currently working on:

Late Mycenaean warrior (2 impressions so far, call 'em LHIIIB and LHIIIC)

Late Bronze Age Philistine/Peleset warrior

Iceman, 3300 BC (no deadline!)

Urnfield warrior, late Bronze Age

Danish Bronze Age warrior, c. 1400 BC

British/Irish Bronze Age warrior


Have basically done:

c. 43 AD Roman legionary/optio
c. 43 AD Roman auxiliary
Punic War legionary
Guess I could do Caesarian legionary, too

Could probably slap together a first-century German or Gaul if needed.


Things I've done in the past, at least the basics:

Greek hoplite, 500 BC
Viking, 10th to 11th century
Anglo-Saxon thegn, 1066 (or Norman infantry!)
12th century infantryman, English/French
c. 1270 English knight (sorry, no horse)
c. 1270 infantryman/archer
c. 1470 English billman
1513 English billman
c. 1513 Irish/Scottish warrior
1610 musketeer/caliver, English (Jamestown)
1642 musketeer, English
1642 pikeman, English
1745 Scottish highlander (briefly!)
1770 English colonial militia/civilian
1777 Light Company, 46th Regiment, British, private
1779 First Virginia Regiment, private/corporal/sergeant
1779 First Maryland Regiment, "recruit for life"

You don't want to know about the orc stuff, right? The First Maryland and First Virginia gear is basically the same, but I have at least 3 full suits of clothing for American Rev War.

I'd like to add Villanovan (Romulus and Remus), Sumerian c. 2500 BC, Sardinian c. 900 BC, Greek c. 800 BC, more British Bronze Age stuff, maybe Late Roman/Arthurian some day, and just more stuff overall!

The proper term is "time slut". Might be easier just to inventory the clothing and gear...

Valete/Khairete/etc.,

" The proper term is "time slut". Might be easier just to inventory the clothing and gear... " LOL!!! With all that kit, you could open a musem...look forward to the Matt Amt Museum of Military Yesteryear (you could call it MAMMY for short?)

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Well, sort of 1'st century legionary

working on a republican legionary, Caesar's period....would like to do a centurions impression too/also try to stretch it to Punic war period, but that can wait!

Also looking at a 9ad impression, in the works...

in the works a late second century legionary/centurion impression

[Iagoba]

In chronological order (all working in with imagination and short budget.):

-300 ad late roman light infantry man from Cohors Prima Gallicani.
-750 Aldaieta necropolis "frank" (although the archaeological study is not ready yet, it´s amazing, and broke a myth on Vasque "isolation").
-1100 Spanish knight in light armour (My city foundation, or "El Cid").
-1450 militia soldier (to use my Bastard sword).

All are "soldiers" based in findings or literary accounts, related with my province (Alava, in Spain).
All have items in common between them, even the age range...short budget!
And as some weapons and armour is the most expensive part, I´ll have to pass without it...at the moment (and due to the summer events in Spain, it´s cooler, or at least not so hot! :twisted: ).
The time for the foam-and-tape pauldrons and helmet, and cardboard shield of the avatar´s photo has passed away! :roll:
(that happened three years ago, when I was young and inexperienced XD )
