Hi Mark,
Just some friendly suggestions, overall I think you are already doing a good job!
- try to avoid a 'uniform' impression. I know the public may expect it, but it's 19th century and 'Hollywood-ism', and by no means proven from Antiquity. For all we know one legionary differed from the next guy.
- pteryges: instead of a single row, try to do a double row (one short, one long, I notice some alreade have that) and if possible each row with a double layer. If not, it becomes a fashion thing rather than something belonging to armour.
- what dark brown garment are some of you wearing over your tunics?
- some tunics differed, but I notice that no tunics sleeves are actually as narrow as they should be. same for trousers btw.
- picture 34/35: the fibula goes on the right shoulder.
