Thanks Daryush and Alanus, for the feedback. I knew i mixed periods a bit while adding the pelta, I just couldn't resist building one. In the future I would like to ad amore period (small) shield, if that is appropered Are there any examples of Sarmatian shields or shieldbosses? I was thinking of a simple round one with a iron/bronze bos...
I understand mail is plausible then, but would start thinking about scale somehow in the future... Without starting a whole new lengtly discusion,I would dare to ask: Are leather scales/lammelar, be an option?
For my akinakes I made a wooden scabberd with a leather backing like found in the altai region, are there examples of these scabberdsin the first century AD?
The helmet indeed is anice one, It's actualy a little to big for my small head and also could have been a little more oval shapped. I will probably make a custumised inner lining that makes the helmet fit a little better... But overall I like it!
