And I made some progress with my centurio kit 
![[Image: centurio2.jpg]](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb2/jvrjenivs/centurio2.jpg)
I'm still not totally satisfied with it, but there is some more stuff to finish on my working bench, so someday soon it will hopefully be improved with a new helmet, gladius and subarmalis.

Looks great Jurjen (as usual)! May I ask what helmet are you planning to buy / make yourself?

Of course. It will be a Weisenau type. Photo's will of course be posted when I've finished it, but that will need some time. (I have to admit I got some pieces to start with and I mainly will do the decorations and end assembly myself. So far I don't want to even think about to try to raise a bowl myself)

Great shots Tim. That is what I have been wanting to do for a long time.....never have the snow and kit together in the same place though!
Excellent impression!

Hi Robert.
Right you are, but quite honestly, I can't put it on myself on my right shoulder. I' ll try to work on it.
All the best,
David

Don't worry about it  Put the pin in the cloak before putting the cloak on, and consider sewing the brooch in place and never removing it.
Best wishes

Exactly. John advised well - otherwise you'd end up with a looooot of holes in your nice mantle, which would ruin it!

Excellent Tim,
That picture now makes me wonder if officers also owned a hooded cloak. The sagum, AFAIK, has no hood so in cold snowy weather like that, what would an officer have worn?
Jurgen,
Are you referring to the parts you are using for the "Gallic D".

The sagum is often worn with a portion folded back. This material can easily be pulled over the head. Even without the folded back portion it can be pulled over the head without problems...

I believe they also wore the paenula too.

This is my Aquilifer impression. I don't usually have facial hair at all in my kit, but this was at a drill during the off-season. So, let me know what you guys think. I don't mind some constructive criticism.
