Shouders for a Roman Muscled breastplate

Topic says most of it.

I am looking to speak to someone about creating a pair of shoulders for hubby's nice Crimson Hammer Stainless Roman Musculata.

Just simple stuff, but too complicated for me.
They are really more for decorative purposes.

I can e-mail a scan of what I am looking for.

Thanks in advance

There really isn't anything that is visible and appropriate that I know of.

hmm, get a low profile shoulder cop (the upper part of a spaulder) and paint it flat black. then conceal it with leather strips hanging down from the breastplate

maybe not period, but more acceptable than just hooking on a pair of 14 century spaulders

I was thinking something along the lines of the statue of Agustus. Sort of.

The nearest application I have seen for SCA type combat was on the rig done by Brand Lancaster for his personal kit. Leather shoulder pieces with the stainless attached to the top.

I know exactly what your talking about. I was in fact looking at that very set tonight. I sent you a message about a set, please feel free to contact me.
