Roman skins

[nuada]

G'day all

I have been working on some new Roman skins, Its a taste thing I know, but what do you think of the shields ? I saw the design on a metal figurine and had to have it ! I have two versions of the Republican Romans, one for the early period and the other is an Augustinian version. The late Roman shields we are currently using are a little small for my liking, so for display purposes I borrowed another model with a much larger Scutum I hope to edit my own models when I finish my travels If any of you guys like them, with LT's permission I will post the files for download.

The Scutum is a little too large IMO it looks abnormal. Ify ou ever held one for real you would know what I mean. Shields are heavy after a while too big and they because a Defensive and not an offensive tool. Romans where offensive in their tactics.

i have held one in a reanactment somewhere in italy on some tour.... anyways yes they are somewhat heavy and i think those ones are a bit too big.

Slight variation on a theme, here are the Roman skins with The original SPQR models Thanks for the feedback I did fear posting my work lol, but as I said its a taste thing. I can honestly say I have never used a scutum so I bow to the experts Epee and Foil are my field of expertise, although in a fight I think I would rather have a shield to hide behind Fought a guy at a Viking re-enactment weekend, he was curious about the differences in styles. First bout taught him the value of good foot work and a well aimed lunge. Second bout taught me how difficult it is to fight a large shield thrust into your face accompanied by a well aimed thrust ! You would almost fell sorry for them barbarians
