When the entire Legionary suit is complete, will this be up for display alongside other creations of yours, or is this entirely an independent creation not related to anything else you do?

No! No! No! Not lor...lor....(splutter!) lorica segmentata!

Take it awaaaaaay!

What's the matter with you, Blacksmith? Not talented enough to make chainmail? You're a disgrace!

;)

Seriously, very nice work indeed, well done!

My own talents enabled me to make authentic EB slave equipment - a sackcloth tunic, a wooden club, and a big stone for throwing. Will post pics sometime. ;)

Nice work on the armor.

I've made a few Romani tvnicae, some Greek Chitoniskoi, slings, pretty much stuff to complete a slinger. I just wish accurate wool was cheaper, though.
One day I'd like to make the gear for a Karthadastim Libyan Thureophoros (Proper clothing for it, maybe a tube & yoke, shield, spear, sword, sandals, helmet.)

If you guys are very interested in making stuff like this, Legio XX has a handbook with a lot of good information about the construction of reenactment gear.
