Ave!
Naturally I'm shocked and appalled that anyone would question my patterns--just kidding! They worked for us, but if you find they don't work for you, sure, try modifying them. Just be forewarned that all those plates have complicated relationships, and changing one dimension can lead to problems elsewhere.
Dr. Mike neglected to mention is own Armamentarium site as the place to find photos of the original pieces:
http://museums.ncl.ac.uk/archive/arma/c ... uirass.htm
(Ack, sorry, long URL!) Note that the Hoard was a box full of many things besides the lorica parts, though the armor was generally the most important and interesting stuff. The excavation report is listed near the top of the Legio XX Bibliography page.
Happy armoring! Vale,
Matthew
