Well I finaly was able to find something to start building a nice musculata from in the basic shape I want and price I could pay. Musculata I know its not the correct period metal but I am not a reenactor so much as an illustrator so looks are my first thought. By the way these are some of the details I plan on copying. ![[Image: musculata_example01.jpg]](http://www.pwlawrence.com/temp_art/musculata_example01.jpg)
. I always liked this design as it seems to give more protection to the well personal regions haha. By the way does any one have more and better pictures of this one or other musculata of the same basic design. I have as many as I could find but I think only one of this statue.
By the way I am looking for suggestion on how to handle the metal. Seems I have a lot of options from the basic ones like polish or brush to even plating with todays technology in Gold, bronze, silver etc. I also have to figure out how to do the edges since the armourer I contacted said heavy aluminum like this could not be rolled on the edges without a very high chance of breaking it.
Any way look forward to your suggestions.
