Scale Armor & Accuracy

[markusaurelius]

Markus, that is beautiful.

Could you post a picture of the upper part in detail, especially the neck (which does look rounded)?
Did you stitch each scale directly on the canvas, or on a leather thong?
I had some criticism that my scales did not overlap enugh and that the interlocking wire showed. Yours does too (I'm relieved to see).

What I meant to say was that the scales are still horizontally layed out, and dont follow the curve of the neck opening. For example how the indian reconstructions all have a circular rounded section at the shoulder.

I wonder why you would get criticism for the wire showing! It should be the reverse The point of this thread wasto show that the overwhelming evidence that the scales were layed out with the wires showing. Them not showing appears to be a reenactorism

I'll post some further pics later to show the neck area.
