And in retrospect, I think that I regret mixing Patrokles and Achilles from the Achilles vase--not really good reconstruction style, to mix two originals. And my rush to use tawed leather on the chest--when I myself see patterned leather?....I wouldn't worry too much about it, Christian. There is that much variation in corselets/spolades re-inforced with scales, not to mention that the artist may have 'made them up' being mythical characters, without basing them on an actual example, that we can say that what you have created is 'typical' of the type......
