Avete Valerius et Faventianvs,
I had a question about adding those strips to hold plumbata on the inside of your shield : how were you able to work around the problem of using rivets so that they aren't visible on the face of the shield ? Did you attach the strip before adding the canvas to the face ?
I ask because I'm thinkg about attaching some strips to my own shield, but I'd like to avoid damaging the face or at least I would like to disguise any visible damage.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
