Greetings all!
I was asked by my centurion to write a tutorial for our legion on how to construct a Corbridge A type lorica segmentata based on how I made mine. It took me a while, but I am happy to inform you all that I have completed it and you can download it at one of the links below:

Adrian Wink is kindly mirroring the document here:

It is targeted for beginners and those who have little experience with metal working. I hope it can be of help to anybody who wants to make one, but feels a little intimidated by the prospect. I have included many photos and tried to give fairly detailed instructions for some of the more challenging tasks.
I'd like to thank Edge and Chris from Leg XI CPF (Atlanta) and Matt Lukes for their help and encouragement when I was making mine.
Enjoy!
