I am intending to put an addition to my bust which will consist of the Legionary system of carrying their kit in the field using the wooden cross system .
Any feed back and ideas all appreciated
Cheers Chris

Those will be nice additions Taff, can't say I have seen any busts with the full kit layout before!
I will watch this progress...

hi Mark

Thanks for the feed back
Cheers Chris

Hi Chris
Like very much your idea about rendering the marching pack, has much more sense that carrying the aquila on his back (Which in fact has no sense at all, IMO) .

I am trying to work out if the x frame had straps or was it only carried shown depicted in pictures if so he will need an arm , lol if not it could be straps but I am sure they improvised

Be a good idea to add the pick lol
Cheers Chris

No straps at sight . Reenactors are tough guys!

Bugger he will need arms lol
Cheers Chris

I think you are really on to something. By the way, what is that contraption you have the bust braced onto?

Joe

It's part of a pedestal I think made by Tamiya years ago it has two parts a flat one with lots of holes in it and the one you see with the adjustable wire frame which was ideal for vehicles that I used to do years ago its quite a handy bit of kit ,as it revolves really well which is god fo spraying .
Thanks for the feed back Joe
Cheers Chris
