Anyway... guys... as far as I can imagine, almost ALL topics in this forum, talking about RE-CREATING outfits/panoplies/weaponry for festivals.
Think about that... YOU CAN'T POSSIBLE be sure about ANYTHING, about ANY faction/nation/Age/etc., because SIMPLY you CAN'T travel through time, go back there and take a video or a snap-shot with your camera!
Even if you gather ANY POSSIBLE statue/paint/etc. from these Ages, with PERFECT details, you STILL CAN'T be able to understand COMPLETELY how they did this or that!
So... the "bottom of line" is this:
DO... as BEST as you can your re-creations, with THE MOST CHEEP, EASY & LOGICAL way you can!
The Greek tunics looked ALIKE/SIMILAR with a long... t-shirt!
USE THAT! Use a nice t-shirt, with all these fine patterns that you'll add and the proper cutting, but DON'T bother yourselves to make it... alike as it WAS THEN!
You SIMPLY CAN'T!
Another example?
The Hoplites' "Aspis"! EVEN NOW, after 2500 years (!), there is NO ONE to claim that he FIGURE OUT how they could CURVED the layers of woods and HOW they could put the bronze layer on them, WITHOUT USING A SINGLE NAIL!
So... you're in 21th century! CREATE as best as you can your "Aspis", to... LOOK ALIKE (not... BE ALIKE!), with any method you can to achieve this!
Got it?
I WOULD do that! And believe me, I'm probably the MOST FANATIC REALISTIC person you ever met! I'm in my work (illustrations) and I WOULD in creating a panoply!
But... ZEUS! With OUR methods and OUR tools...
Make them LOOKING alike and don't bother yourselves to UNDERSTAND how THESE PEOPLE did it!...
Regards...
