I just looked all over the internet for pictures and its an officer helmet with centurion extras its just Google calls everything a centurion and most people only know centurions so i just called it that 😊 thanks 🔥
@@alexgomez2793 Searched for in on internet im sure you'll find it if you search roman helmet papercraft model pepakura or something (its been years so i dont have it anymore myself)
Technically you should’ve kept the feather off the top because that was usually reserved for centurions and it didn’t go straight back-and-forth it went horizontal
You clearly put a lot of effort and research into your costume. Kudos for that, I like very much what you did. The shoes are not quite caligae, more along the lines what civilians wore. But there is always room to improve, you really came a long way with your work.Two thumbs up for this project!
Caligae were not the only footwear they used though.They always used several other types too,including fully enclosed shoes.Caligae appeared in insecure point in time but were clearly synonymous footwear of soldiers by the late republic and remained so until 1st half of the 2nd century.Already by early 2nd century they start to be(mostly) notably absent in archeological record while fully enclosed shoes turned to norm(so called Calcei),though in art(who is hovewer often anachronistic as artists commonly copied older works)they are depicted until late 2nd/earliest 3rd century.
@@paprskomet That is true. There is an excellent video available from the channel "Imperium Romanum" regarding this topic. But I would say Caligae are the safest bet for this kit. No problem, there are plenty of tutorials.
Hi 😊 thank you but im not a kid and an a she but I get that alot so its ok 😉 sadly i live in the Netherlands were a prop maker almost doesn't exist id have to move or start my own business to become that its my biggest dream but its far beyond my reach 😣
Hey this is really awesome! I hope to make my own this month. As a fellow Dutchie, what plastic sheets did you use and where did you buy/get it? Is the armor heavy? Thanks in advance!
Hi, ze heten GUTTAGLIS Kunststofplaat Hobbycolor 😜 en nee het is niet super zwaar (ik heb alle stukken gezaagd met een Cirkelzaag zodat ze mooi recht waren) En je kan ze buigwn door middel van een heat gun kijk uit ze breken ook snel als je te ver doordrukt en ze niet heet genoeg zijn Gebruik ook plastic primer voor je gaat verfen 😊 ook van hornbach ik had zwarte platen btw
Having made lots of this armour in my younger years, this is a good try, a little research would have helped, the lorica is easy to make once you have the correct measurements, and understand the way the plates fit properly.
@@jaypab Ah oki i would recommend to also use plastic sheets there strong and easy to use and bendable when heated and i think my other video on how to make silicon molds will come in handy 😆 for duplicating small detailet parts 😊
Very well done! Some constructive criticism, if you’re looking for accuracy, I would recommend changing the cloak to blue, and rotate the plume 90°. Also, I couldn’t see if you had a gladius but if you do, or decide to add it carry it on your left. Hip. You could also get a good stick about a meter long, called a “vitis” and it was one of the more identifiable items a centurion had PLUS it’s probably pretty easy to make
@@Kcb_creations the plume is supposed to be in the direction of ear to ear (horizontal?) for centurions. For regular legionaries it would be oriented front to back. Either way it looks great! Not trying to nitpick
@@jasonglover5989 I know its not centurion its from an officer But i didnt like the way the plume looked from the centurion so i did this and i dont think any one will notice except you haha 😉
I would not insisted on blue color.This idea is mainly based on Fayum portrait of probable soldiers with their sword suspended on the side where Centurions possibly normally wore it(on their left).Problematically most of these portraits are from time where all soldiers regardless rank strated to wear their sword on their left and some of those blue cloaked persons had their balteus oriented also to the right.To make it even more complicated-even though most preserved depictions of late republic to late 2nd century shows common soldiers with their swords suspended on their right we also have exceptions where clearly common soldiers are shown wearing it oppositely.We also have some lower principales officers sometimes depicted with it on their left but also on their right.
Crest of Centurion(at least until late 1st century)was vertical but crest from this video is not specifically that of Optiones but also of any common soldier.
I didn't use templates i just looked at the pictures i found of the armor and made it i drew it out on paper but i didnt keep it, you just have to find a good pic of the armor and it will explain itself its quite an easy armor
La punta del pilum e troppo grande e più una punta di lancia il più la punta e piccolina e poi il centurione non porta una lancia ma un bastone corto attorcigliato di legno di vite da comando
Absolutely amazing work
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LESSON. LOOKS GREAT. CONGRATULATIONS
I love them to see how looks centurion armor,& i got make my own armor centurion.

Looks more like a praetorian guard but you did a amazing job. Caesar gives you the 👍

Cardboard is amazing to my knight was mostly made of it 🤗 check that out
Awesome. This kid needs to build more so he can get a prop maker job in Hollywood.

@@tatotjip Oki leuk ben benieuwd als je nog vragen hebt kan je ze altijd stellen 😊 hier of op instagram kcb_creations
No is not heavy armor actually that a light armor is a lorica segmentata,other the real heavy one is a lorica hamata made a chain mail.
Having made lots of this armour in my younger years, this is a good try, a little research would have helped, the lorica is easy to make once you have the correct measurements, and understand the way the plates fit properly.
I did alot of research 😊 but I made one mistake on the big shoulder plate
I'm currently welding some basic roman armor, summer project.
Nice 😆
Looks awesome! I'm gonna be making some Roman Armor as a summer project, any tips you might have?
Cool! Your gonna use real steal? Or plastic plates etc like i used?
@@Kcb_creations I wish I could use real steel lol, I’m pretty much using entirely EVA foam.

Cómo lograste que se viera de metal ?? Que tipo de pintura usaste
I used a metalic spray can and sanded it lightly and weathered it
As typical as horse hair was, feathers too were used.
I know but I couldn't buy the hair piece anywhere and importing it was to expensive
Do u wear anything under the armor
Yeah a shirt and brown short pants 😀

Yes, that's right. It is called "Christa Transversa".

You should’ve kept the feather off because That was usually reserved for centurions but other than that it looks beautiful stunning
Its an officer plume but i made the rest after a centurion, centurion sounds better
@@Kcb_creations oh OK I subscribed anyways you’re being nice so
@@chrismullon7457 Thanks 😊
@@Kcb_creations no problem
Where's the gladius?
Didnt make one i found this was enough
Centurion crest is vertical, that's an optio helm/crest!!!

yo u still have the templates?
