A History of the Idea of Glued Linen Armour

[Feinman]

Hi Todd,

have you considered submitting your leather spolas writeup and your twinned linen thorax writeup to Christian Cameron's reenactment magazine Hoplologia? PDFs have a longer half-life than forums (and its easier to process a tidy writeup than a thread with lots of side talk).

That's a good idea Sean. When I finish those projects I will look into it. I have to finish a painting before I can get back to finishing armour projects. I think the spolas should be done by the new year though. I'd like to create a few PDF manuals on how these experimental armours were made, too. Right now I am in the middle of: A Greek twined linothorax, the spolas, an Egyptian painted hide scale armour made like Tut's, composite bronze and hide scale armour, a twined Egyptian linothorax, Achilles' helmet, shield and greaves, a Greek shield effigy, and Mountain Pattern armour. I have a couple of secret projects I am working on too... For me it gets exponentially harder to finish items the closer they get to being done
