SCALES the fast way

[LVCIVS VVLPES]

second one down



here I ad the last scales on the collar



The finished collar

That's impressive, the way the plates can bend vertically. I wonder, how well do they bend horizontally ? Not that much, I imagine, since the armor looks stiff in the second photo where it's hanging off the side of the chair (in the foreground).

Is this why you're convinced that you need simple scales to complete a shirt ?

Theo, yes, when they are bend one way they are very stiff the other way, more like a muscle cuirasse
on the photo's the plate's are bent top - bottom, left - right, and front
