Hi folks,
I am going to focus on finishing my twined linothorax before working anymore on the spolas, and I am creating this dedicated thread for the project. I'm excited about finishing the linothorax and having it to go with the rest of my panoply! I'll be posting pics in this thread as progress continues. It will look very much like the Etrurian examples in Gleba. Half of the twining for the thorax portion is done, and I've found a good source for European heavy white linen that I will use to cover the twining and ptyreges and sew it all together. I could actually go for the Alexander Mosaic armour, but it wouldn't go with the rest of my stuff.
