Did you over lap the bottom layer too? That is what I have planned to do to give that thick bunching you see on some statues. Not sure if it will work though. I see you did it with the top layer. I am planning on trying buffalo hide. eventually.

I used linen wrapped over felt for mine...worked out pretty good. The stitching I used as part of the decoration. Having said that, the upper "tongue" shaped pteryges I made out of leather. All the sculpture points to something smooth for them, which means either metal or leather.

Here's a thought: What if they were metal strips, but covered in fabric to avoid cuts due to their mobility and flapping about on the limbs?
Only a thought, and I only typed it in or I'd lose it by tomorrow. No flames please. BTW, the arm pteryges and those above the bum could be shaped metal strips :wink:
