Sorry for the horrible delay in getting a picture posted, as well as for the horrible quality, no one else was around (except for my 2 year old daughter who made a cameo appearance in the photo), so I took the picture in my living room in the mirror.
I suppose the pteruges are not as long as I thought, there is plenty of tunic between the pteruges ends and my knees. The tunic is from my Roman kit, I have yet to make a Greek chiton, and looks rather baggy since I pulled the armor up from my feet since it is near impossible to do the horrible buckle system alone. Yes, I still have the original buckles on the side and have not replaced them with leather ties yet. The linothorax has not yet been dry cleaned yet and features some dirt and sand deposits from filming (but thankfully no fake blood which I imagine wouldn't come off with dry cleaning).
The linothorax is also quite thick, but still flexible, a sword or spear would meet some resistance while penetrating it. What do you think?
