Opps forgot to mention the best way to make your components is make templates first,

These will help for scale before you make in metal.

Thank you very much Charlie  The drawings  in the book are to scale and show how irregular the belt plates are so I did the same all hand cut. Te book is " Archaeologia Vol.109 1991"  a great set of drawings of belt plates, bucklesfrogs ect

Who supplied your leather?

[brennivs - tony drake]

Fleebay I ordered a piece long enough for the belt and wide enough to make the apron  from the off cut

I have been looking at ebay suppliers for leather. I just irdered some appropriate size offcuts to make linings for my helmet cheekpieces.
