Time yes, money no. Spent it all on kit, none left over for travel to the Netherlands!
Actually nothing in this kit is terribly expensive, just labor intensive. The scales themselves were cheap.
I need to take some pics with just the subarmalis underneath. It's as impressive and took as much time to hand stitch as the squamata.

Nice scale armour, silvered iron? And excelent Spangehelm/Ridge helm helmet, great touch. And just who can resist a Pannonian hat for civilian use?

I thought forumites mights may be interested to view some examples of period weaves, and the variety that was possible with these weaves using natural dyes;
Take a look here

Very nice work.
We did a 'fleece to finished' experiment once, to produce a full width piece of textile on one of our WW looms and found the most time consuming bit was spinning out the yarn. To make a piece 6 foot wide by 8 foot long took a mile of drop spun yarn.
