I do not mean to hog the posts here so tell me to stop if I am posting too many pics, but I hope this will help inspire people for new ideas. Here is my Corinthian with the new subarmour of 5 layered linen per row of pteryges. I think it really made the finishing touch to this impression and makes it "pop" a lot more than the fringed earlier attempt......AND you can actually see the chiton now.... :lol:

I had to ham it up a bit for this photo, but I really like this pose in the armour.

Laudes from me! Very, very handsome panoply!

Re: Show here your Greek warrior impression - Chris B - 09-09-2008

Thanks for the remarks.

Giannis,

I actually do have plans to make an aspis like my previous ones with a full metal outer layer. I just have to build up the motivation to do it. My idea will involve practically making two (1 to use, and one form to hammer the metal to proper shape).

I am planning to make one like the methods I have shown in my detailed thread and then make a block of wood with the outside diameter being used for the inside diameter. Basically, my idea is to cut out the outside diameter of a ring method shield only while leaving a thick square of wood around the outside of this cut.

I am going to then glue all 10 layers together leaving a 6" thick square of wood with the outer profile of the aspis as the inside profile of the form. Then I will slowly fit the sanded outside of my aspis into the sanded inside profile of the form. Once they fit perfectly, I will dish the metal for my outer layer into the form.

I would guess within the next 12 months, plan on seeing it on these forums somewhere. For now, I am on vacation for a while! :lol:

And why didn't you just ask? :lol: He had made a sarissa and had a nice photo comparing the reach of the spear oposing a sarissa.

Re: Show here your Greek warrior impression - Kallimachos - 10-01-2008

Quote:Yes I know, but I think Stefanos requested these before your group made the sarissa lol!

Actually I thought about the pics that you've posted here, not some of us. :wink: Never mind! Smile
