Making Lorica Segmentata
#7
Joseph, you need to read the link Crispvs posted. Seriously...that way you will know what type of hinges are appropriate for a Corbridge/Newstead/Kalkriese segmentata. You will also have an idea of how long it takes to make a single lobate hinge.

Second, the lobate hinges are not proper barrel-types. I have ordered this kit and didn't end up using them because they will eventually fail.

Making the brasswork for a seggie is VERY time consuming...

Have you considered starting with an easier project first, to get some familiarity with the techniques you will need for making your own armour? Perhaps a belt...
