Hi everybody !
A few times ago I proposed this equation to estimate the number of scales needed to assembly a lorica squamata without being short so I seeked for a slight excess method. Now I begin to think about it because I'd like to do it myself next year or the year after if I have to buy a secondary weapon (spatha). What do you think about the idea ? Does it seem correct to you ?
N being the number of scale needed. When I will really order my scales, I will probably multiplicate N per 1.05 or 1.1.
p is the body (fitted with thoracomachus) chest circumference.
h is the length under the shoulders.
Basically I work with metric units but it doesn't matter here.
Thanks
Greg
