I am quite happy with my kit right now, which you can see here. But I am planning some additions and upgrades.
Armor
I plan to upgrade from plastic lamellar to leather, in order to save weight.
The leather lam is close to being done. I have all the plates completed.
I may also try my hand at leather pauldrons, similar in design to those on the lorica segmentata.
Weapons
To qualify for 6th level in Valiant LARP, I need to complete my weapons collection.
Here is an inventory, with items I have complete in bold.
- Sword and shield - got them, although I am considering some upgrades
- a fancier sword in the form of a Roman spatha
- a smaller, round shield
- Spear and dagger - Just need the spear. While I could make one, I prefer something more professional, at least for the spearhead. Thinking about the Fakesteel pikehead.
- Bow and arrows - need 2 arrows.
- Great weapon and dagger - Have them but I want to upgrade the great to something more Roman era. Thinking about a falx. I should be able to make it similar to the makhaira I did years ago.
- Javelin and buckler - I need to get a javelin and finish the buckler. For the javelin, I found an interesting design based on the Roman pilum. Just need to figure out how to make it.

Garb
Items I need for 6th level.
- Loaner garb - I have tabards I can use, but I'd like to get one in Legion colors.
- I can use my wool robe for feast garb but I'd like a fancy hat.
Other Gear
- A quiver
