Maybe I missed it because this thread is so long, but what is the general consensus of people whom have received their Anovos armor? Assuming that it is constructed correctly, has the 501st approved any of these for legion use?

I have a suit of armor as well. Take some mineral oil and a scotch brite pad (no off brands, they're too slick) and go to town. Use mineral oil to prevent further rust, though it does stay oiling, another alternative is Ballistol, often used as a gun oil. If there are leathers internally...

HOLY !@#$ This is amazing! Though I might add, the steel looks a bit thicker than necessary, what gauge did you use? How much does it weigh as of now?

Rave Cinemas bought out our local theater chain a couple of years: Regular Tickets: $9.75 3D Movies:$12 There is one cheap little stand alone theater that is a good 18 miles away, but tickets are $3-5 for new releases, amazing I know

What do you consider to be a decent price? I only know of one commercial saddle made by one of the main suppliers of Roman equipment a company by the name of Deepeeka, but it goes for about $500... If you have any interest in anything Roman, you should check out this little forum, there are...

How are you considering doing the legs? Black pants with resin "armor" sewn on?

Witchking, see the attached thumbnail. It is an older display picture, but you get the idea. Essentially the armor just sits on a crucifix. Because all the steel is mild steel comparable to the iron the Romans used (stainless is too flimsy and inaccurate), the iron does need to be wiped down...

While the Romans did use the phalanx at one point, it was centuries before my impression, the phalanx and Macedonian phalanx need certain equipment to have a true phalanx formation, namely a large 36-38" in diameter round shield. The fighting style my impression would use would be considered the...

I am still somewhat new to the hobby, my presentations have been limited to work and school at the monent, but I have a wax museum/timeline event this month in which will get considerable public attention. There are relatively few Roman reenactors, a census put us at 300 in all of North America...

Thanks guys, the Lorica is the Corbridge A Segmentata version. I bought it from a website called Soul of the Warrior, here is a link to armor pictures from the vendor: AH3851 Lorica Segmentata It is essentially the entry level for reenactment armor, anything cheaper and I can almost...

I have update my Roman Legionary impression from last year with a new helmet, balteus (belt), pilum (spear), manica (armguard), and tunic. All costume parts are copied from historic artifacts (I am a reenactor), no fantasy or Hollywood interpretations, this particular interpretation is circa AD...

Working on my Roman Legionary during the Dacian campaigns, more of a historical rather than "movie replica", but interesting nonetheless. I still need to make a segmented arm guard (manica) and greaves out of brass this Spring, as well as sewing a new tunic and perhaps legionary trousers and...

Great job. Although I know this is just a costume, and it probably is a bit late to make these sort of changes. Those "danglies" on the shoulder and what appears to be a belt underneath the armor are actually a single piece of clothing called a "subarmalis" To see a plain subarmalis with Roman...

Thank you PotionMistress and Apollo, over the past few decades they have found earlier and earlier examples segmentata. Mine dates as early as AD40, but half of another style was found at the site of the 'Battle of Teutoburg Forest 9AD' and is called the Kalkriese-type, since then there have...

Thanks guys, the sword features a mild steel blade, real bone hilt, and wood pommel and guard, the scabbard made of wood, wrapped in leather with brass accents. I'll try and get a picture of it up later. It came unsharpened, mild steel is not the best grade for keeping an edge, (although I have...
