Here's a couple of shots taken at Segedunum recently..
Claire (Cheyenne) made the Dura tunica for me. It's a lovely fit and really lightweight thin woollen off-white fabric. Very comfortable and no typical 'wool itch'! Thanks Claire, it was much admired!

No Byron, it was made by Jean-Olivier Bourbon at Fabricae in France. ( http://fabricae.free.fr/ )
I did the paintwork and added the boss.

Very nice Frater.
It's nice to see the accurate decoration on the tunic too. I am well aware of the swastika's connotations for many people but I think it is high time its long non-nazi history was again recognised, before we start to lose the last people who can actually remember its pre-nazi use. My parents had an Edwardian tablecloth with rows of brocaded swastikas along its edges and my great uncle was awarded a Scouting medal in the early 1930s in the form of a swastika. Both of these items predated the nazis theft and perversion of the symbol.
Using it on a tunic like this allows us to point out to those who might comment that it is copied directly from a picture painted 1700 years before the Nazi party was even thought of. How are the decorations applied, incidently?
Who made the sword and scabbard by the way? Am I right in thinking it is not a Deepeeka one? I seem to remember Aitor posting up a tutorial a few years ago on making scabbards of that type. Can we have a close up of it?
You have also done a very nice paint job on the shield, as always. Well done! Your standard of paintwork has certainly not diminished since your 'Golden Demon' days.

Yes Ade, the paint job is outstanding!
I remember now you pointed that link out to me sometime ago,or perhaps Caballo. :?
Perhaps it is time i got one, as I like the dished design!

Very nice impression, Ade and Tony. Well done.
I certainly like your tunic, Ade and would love to have such a piece myself, but I think the Netherlands isn't ready for the use of such a piece, unfortunately.

Hi there,
The Decorations are hand appliqued on to the wool. They were cut out using a template then hand stitch hemmed, then stitched by hand on to the tunic - the tunic then was joined together. There is about 24 hours worth of hand stitching on the tunic.
I actually really enjoyed making this tunic - and if anyone wants one, then I can do them to order for you. They are not cheap, but are accurate based upon the Simon James interpretation of the Terentius fresco
Thanks for taking the pic Adrian, if you don't mind - could I use this for my new website I am building as a portfolio example?
Cheers
