Hi all,
I finallt found a purist way to make a roman legionair (this way written in dutch, don't know the other ways) with only lego pieces. I present:
The Roman legionair

pieces used:
flesh anakin pilot head: the communicator is a great cheek guard
fire helmet: close resemblance to the roman helmet with the anakin head
pearl silver euro armor: used from the final joust, I was lucky enough that the backside had a stripe going down the middle of it, like the real lorica segmentata.
red string: from the ballista set, spinned twice around the minifig legs. It allows the look of a tunic, but can still move and he can even sit down with it!
This is one of the greatest accomplishments in my MOCs, and I also have a ompletely new curved scutum design wich I will post soon.

Very nice. I'm not quite sure I agree about the cheek-guard part of the face, but it works well enough. The tunic is really cool.

P.S. In English, it's Legionnaire.

Say it "ESS-MICK-GIN-ISS", with a hard "G", as in "get".

This is a very well done purist creation. Great work on yet another great Roman!

The rubber-bands are a great touch.
Those new fire-helmets look great, it's the same metallic as is in the Castle 2007 line right?

But I really don't know wich sword to use...
The KK2 sword is too big
The basic knight sword is too... non-roman
The only good thing for now is the dagger, wich is a bit too short...
I found some nice designs for scuti, I'll see if I can post it 2night.
Keep 'em coming
