Archaic high swan crest

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

You mean the base of the wooden swan itself?

Fantastic work, BTW. I've never seen that stitching in the crest to hold it upright and together, but it makes eminent good sense the way you've presented it.

I have padded both the base of the swan and the two brass flanges on either side. It is mainly these that scratch the paint since i have made it fit so tight. It doesn't have any fear of moving, and with the extra leather padding it was made even more tight.

Lysandros, thank you for your kind words. I'm kind of sorry you're abandoning greek reenactment. I was expecting to see more of your own reconstructions and your group's development.
