We should also note that you can overlap the plates on one side and retain the segmented look we see on vases.

We missed that idea. But there will be more reconstructions hopefully. IMF want stay forever or so we hope :twisted:

You know of that 2002 dissertation on Scale armors that showed no loss in protection when bronze scales were mixed with rawhide, I saw you refer to it on another forum when I was trying to find a copy. Do you have access to it?

I will ask our armorer. He has reconstructed byzantine armors by alternating metal scales with hide stripes as they appear in hagiography
Actually arroww bounced on them at the test!!!!!!

Kind regards
