Believe it or not,what i also thought was that i'd like a photo of me facing you! Haha! I guess only photoshop can bring us closer at this moment.
But let me inform you that in August 2011 some of us are planning to informally meet in the field of Marathon itself to commemorate the 2500 years of the battle. To have some Persians there would be wonderful!
If you want some ideas of how to make the cuirass that we here in rat call tube & yoke, you can see the thread "spolas-thorax ek dermatos". Persians and greeks are often shown wearing almost identical body armour. Some times the only differences seem to be stylistic.
Unfortunately people are very biased today concerning the "Persian Wars" and they're biased in many ways. Even more unfortunately,the ancient sources were biased also! So it's really hard to trace the truth but we're into it!
Welcome in RAT and keep what you're doing! And keep us posted too.
