Have you thought about a Photobucket account? It makes an easy method of storing and downloading pict on here! Or just load it from your hard drive?

I still can't see the pictures, as I do not have MySpace.

Posting pictures on RAT is very easy if you make a free photobucket account: http://photobucket.com/

You can then just upload pictures to this account and use the link here to put them in you post.

Vale,

No no, your thumb drive isn't on the internet, unless you open up holes in your firewall and do a lot of internet stuff to your machine making it a host. Do upload to Photobucket: works a lot better.

Actually the myspace links won't work even if you are a myspace member, because the account is set to private, in this case. :roll:

You would have to join myspace, create an account and then become a "friend" of the user to see any photos there.

Did you already find the time to upload the photos? I'm very curious what a deepeeka gallic, reworked by Matt looks like Smile

I must mention to Svlla, that if one looks at the exploded views shown by Mark Downes. The top plate of the three at the rear has an angle to it, this is what keeps the shoulder plates with a verticle overlap. Then when we look at the front breastplates in exploded view, we find that the top of each plate has rightangle corners. If we change these angles to lets say, 88' and 92' as opposed to 90..90, then we can control the overlap of the front breast plates. there is also that in doing so we do not alter the slope of the shoulder in any way. I would also add, similar to what Tony Drake has mentioned, one dose not want to have Lorica plates that look as though they have gone through a modern rolling mill. This is where I also hammer my plates into curves, one achieves what is known as Stressed metal. Indeed I can make 22 gauge as strong as 18 g by doing so, as were the Corbridge plates.
