Romans

[MSea]

In my book it said caliga and that was a "military boot" - but I don't even do English.

[MSea]

Romans added to the base - when solid will start to make and then add the bits and bobs

Looking good Martin.
We are both right with the latin.

[MSea]

Thanks Chris its good to get something correct with words - now we just have to tell teacher Zak that I have done something right and wait for his reply - hohohhoho

[chriswil42]

He'll probably come up with some ditty ho ho ho .

[MSea]

While waiting for Zaks ditty, some ideas for the shields.
Top row the disc cut from thin aluminium, and a hole cut in some paper/card. Middle row paper fastened to disc and bottom row paper cut at the edges of the disc. 
Works OK but will have to make a lot to be able to choose the best, and will also try and think of another way to do it. Might try and fasten a bit of solder around the disc edge and see how that goes - suppose I could just paint a ring on the risc edge but would be best if it has a slightly 3D effect

Start made on the second Romans model.
Four soldiers at the corners of the empire - not sure if they will be looking inward towards Rome or looking outwards and protecting the borders of the empire - decisions decisions decisions - hohohoho

Outwards for me!

[Red Lancer]

Fantastic!!!
Well done!
Painting on shields looks great!

[MSea]

Twentieth Legion  flag made - when dry will bend and crumple a bit then add to the defeated Romans

[MSea]

A couple of francisca  thats just for you Chris --- the rest of you that is throwing axe for the Frankish warriors, next job paint the metal head and wooden handle.

[MSea]

Some more bits added to the model - now working on a couple of Celtic type shields.

[chriswil42]

I like your ideas Martin. Great result.
