constructing and mounting a porpax
#24
Hey hey,Aurora is here! Welcome oficially now. I'm looking forward to seeing your porpax. Those thinner porpakes were become exceedingly popular during the fifth and fourth centuries. One could assume they were more comfortable.Is that true? The leather and/or felt liner was attached in an interesting way and was possibly detachable? Is your leather liner detachable?
And...do you find that all-bronze covered aspises is something that can be produced in a logical cost? Of course t depends what each of us considers "logical" but i mean something the average serious re-enactor could hope for...
Kineas,the shield looks good. Some hacks on it might also look nice. They'd make you look tougher :wink:

EDIT: I forgot the laudes for the porpax,at least the one i've seen.
