Giannis, I will be working on getting the sides tied together as you suggested, though it may be awhile before I get there. Is there a database that has recorded paintings on the linothorax armor, or do I just have to search around for Greek pottery? I am not familiar with the term "tube and yoke" but from a limited search it appears to be a reference to linothorax armor, am I mistaken?
Joe, yes I did purchase the linothorax from brookster_007. He has several other linothorax cuirasses if you send him a message he can get you a nice one he may not have listed. I am 5'7" and have an athletic 190lb build and the linothorax fits me nicely. Since you are taller, the pytruges will not appear as long.
My linothorax only appears to have some dirt on it, which I plan on getting dry cleaned before I did any sort of painting or modifications. The leather straps are quite horrible, I was unaware that the Greeks just tied them with leather laces, that is reassuring.
