thank you and sorry for any inconvenece!

Thank you Reptor!

Nice figure but the Manica laminations should overlap up the arm not down. Made as depicted a sword will catch and cut through rather than slide. I've made about 30 of these for re-enactors. It's a very common mistake in books and reconstructions. Google Manica and have a look at the archaeology and Mike Bishop has done the practical work. Ignore artists depictions.

Pity about the manica, but nonetheless a very dynamic and original bust. It's quite hard to tell a story with only part of a figure and you have succeeded brilliantly!

Actually, for the purists, it will be quite easy to correct the manica. Just sand off the cast version and overlay the rough area with Magicsculpt or lead foil patches, but stacked the other way around.

An easy error to make and even Roman artists got it backwards. It seems illogical but if you are fighting as a Roman would have and thrusting with the sword rather than slashing, the overlapping up the arm is far more protective. Great bust regardless.

Thank you Adrian for your nice words. About the manica is a mistake I won't forget! Maybe I will transform one myself just to see how it looks, have a nice day!

Thanks BillR! The romans were quite practical people, for sure they developed the manica until its maximun utility. Maybe my gladiator was in the beggining of this development, the gladiator test dummy for body armour! XD just joking. have a great day!

Thank you so much Nap!
