Segmentata metal guage - dengland - 08-17-2010
Any suggestion on what guage metal is appropriate for an accurate representation. 16 or 18?
Re: Segmentata metal guage - M. Demetrius - 08-17-2010
Some lames have reportedly been found that were 20 or 22 ga.

If you're going to use one thickness, 18 gauge is a decent average. You can use 16 on the shoulders if you go with 20 ga on the girdle sections. But there was some variation!
Happy armoring!
