Show here your Germanic warrior impression

[Franklin]

5th century Gothic or Vandal tribesman serving in the Roman army. Diamond pattern trim in these photos is modern upholstery fabric, but I met a woman at this event who does handwoven diamond-twill wool. She'll be supplying the trim for the ultra-period version of this outfit. Squamata is my own creation, constructed from Deepeeka scales. Boots from Armamentaria, modified by me for my 1.5" leg difference. Also added hobnails. Pilleus is a vintage 1950's woman's pill-box hat I found on Ebay for $12. I want to eventually go to a spangen helm with punch decoration and repousse and a planked dished round shield.
