IIRC the Dura shields had rawhide edges. <br /><br />Presumable the wet rawhide contracted, when dry, to make a nice taut edge to the shield and was also, I think, stitched into place. <br /><br />I think it is naturally a buff or off-white colour, but presumably would take paint well.<br /><br />Cheers, SimonBigRedBathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622983082204451158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880538120094882531.post-84461775816869355622012-07-09T22:26:18.772+01:002012-07-09T22:26:18.772+01:00Just had a good look at these A&A Romans.

I like the idea of the red rewhide sheild edges,and it would save me a lot of grief as I hate painting the edges of sheilds,BUT whats the logic behind them, and without hopefully looking stupid,or ignorant any evidence for them?Happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06023991288037530582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880538120094882531.post-65863629288263877032012-06-13T22:54:26.955+01:002012-06-13T22:54:26.955+01:00Some beautiful figures, love the bowmen!Some beautiful figures, love the bowmen!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880538120094882531.post-19057530532017302462012-06-13T20:33:04.932+01:002012-06-13T20:33:04.932+01:00Those are great looking, and painted, figures.
