linothorax shoulder section

[screweduplinothorax]

hey! second thread of mine. i did a search and went through 5 pages of threads looking for something on this but i couldnt find anything...

so on to my question!


i've found that the soulder section seems to be the hardest part in constructing a linothorax, i cant seem to make it look right... of course im making it from construction paper before i cut out the linen, but every time i look at it, it just keeps getting wierder..


i know that: the shoulder pieces need to curve outward to fit correctly when put on, what i cant figure is


how far they need to curve,

where they should start the curve,

how thick the shoulder pieces should actually be?

should they be thicker in the center than the ends?


any help? or, does anyone have a model i can work from? i find it very hard to find a decent size and angle picture of one...


thanks!
