Here I am using the mostly finished aspis. Still needs a final device (I haven't made the stencil yet) and 10 more coats of rust-red. But after several hours of mock-combat, the surface held up beautifully--I really have to say that the 2 linen layers with lots of glue is probably tougher over time than a layer of bronze--or at least, for a reenactor, the bronze would show a LOT of wear. We found that we smack these things together A LOT in combat.
PS this was our first "event". So much to do--so much kit to make!
