New Start, looking for information and advice.

For an idea of what your tunic should look like, have a search of the forum. I put up a thread in the beginners' section a few years ago which was intended to address this very thing.

As to making your own shield, a curved scutum might not be the best beginner's project, but a flat clipieus type shield would be far easier to make and would be just as Roman. You should find some good advice in this thread:

If you are used to running around and LARPing, then portraying a group of auxiliary soldiers would be ideal for you. If so, though, you might want to go easy on the segmentata and go instead for mail or scale. If you are in Scotland, it would be truer to the Roman soldiers who actually served in (the lowlands of) your part of the world, as well.

As one last thing, this thread should really be in the 'Re-enactment and Reconstruction' forum. The 'Beginners' Section' is really supposed to be a sort of FAQ area with helpful answers to the questions that beginners often ask.
