Hi Mithras,
Yes the gorget is one of Paul Carrick's creations. I wonder if I could persuade him to make me a locked scale corselet to go with the H? The baldric is Nodge's work.
Yes I have seen to your impression on an earlier thread -excellent, and put together so quickly as well. You rather put me to shame. It took me about 2 years, although most of that was taken up by getting the right helmet, and a few famliy/work commitments.
I am intrigued by the dished shield idea. It is the way I would like to go. Do you have to use planks? Would plywood not be a better solution, or is there no archaeological evidence to back that idea up.
Robert, that guy you mentioned in a previous thread. Does he use the plank method for his dished shields? Approximately how much does he charge?
Andrew
