you can get some 16 guage mild or 18 guage stainless lorica segmentatas on ebay for pretty cheap. that would be your best bet otherwise i would go with a riveted hamata with some hidden kidney plates. for arms hmmmmmmmmm..... besides hidden i'd use manicas. but i think i'd still use flesh colored hi...

Wolf

Wolf

love the design work on the face guard

Wolf

naa just buy the 18g rebar wire. its black and not galv

Wolf

right, straight strips dont work. you need a slight curve to each lame and then even some lames look to have a slight dishing at the lip.[/code]

(Personally, my hair goes all crazy-staticky when I try wearing any sort of silk headcovering; I've also taken to lining my wool hoods with matching linen to avoid some of the static frizzies. My husband, on the other hand, has no problem wearing a wool hood directly on his hair, but his hair's a l...

as well as matt amts site at http://www.larp.com/hoplite/

they give a great overview that can help you make your kit!

Wolf

in a burlap bag on teh floor of the spare bedroom. no rust

no oil

Wolf

yes they do ship to the USA. that i know for sure

Wolf

man i hope theres a lot of greek kits for this! if there are everyone in a great kit get in the front to show off!!

Wolf

notice that the greeves are not correctly placed on the leg of the maniquin? thus the strap behind the knee should go in that hook. this would allow the lames on the top of the back greeve to extend up when the leg is bent

Wolf

sure murdock, next you'll be telling me that the 4thc belts like this are a good use for SCA weight lifter belts:
