Inspired by the discussions and how-to threads here at the forum I've gotten a tube and yoke pattern down on paper. I've been particularly inspired by these threads: <!-- l <a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.romanarmytalk.com/rat/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=25944">viewtopic.php?f=63&t=25944<!-- l and <!-- l <a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.romanarmytalk.com/rat/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=29502">viewtopic.php?f=63&t=29502<!-- l . I really like the type of corselets that I've seen depicted around 500bc with what appears to be more flaring pteruges and with scales around the abdomen.
I have only ever done European medieval armour so understanding what style is 'right' for hoplite armour is rather difficult. I therefore attach some pictures on 500bc t&y and some of my sketches in this post. In the next I will attach the pattern as I've gotten it so far. I would really appreaciate any comments that can help me tweak my pattern more towards the concept.
