Thanks everyone for the quick replys.
I suppose im not really sold on any particular period of Roman history. I found was a site for group where I live (Upstate NY) but it seems they are no longer active... their website hasn't been updated since 2000. As far as history goes almost all roman history interests me. But I suppose I'll decide what era im trying to emulate when I decide to buy more things. Also I'll look into the Imperium Armory store, their stuff looks quite good. I have though about the Hamata a bit, but the Segmentata look appeals to me so much more. I may purchase one sooner or later.
The mistakes I make on my armor are usually due to my own inaptitude with metalworking, but im getting better. The Legio XX site is what really got me started on the project to begin with.
As far as the Deepeeka suit, thats what I was afraid of. The last suit i got felt like a large metal bucket. The girdle plates could overlap by a good 3 inches or so. When it was tied together there would be a full 6 inches of extra space between the armor and my body. How much extra room should there be between the armor and my body? Flush? or say an inch or less?
