Regarding the dipylon shield, it cost me so far material wise:
120 euros for the wicker main body
28 euros for the wooden frame (Bless Practiker stores and their DIY dep)
5 euros waxed heavy thread
I haven't bought leather for the outer cover yet but from what it will probably cost something around 200 - 300 euros.
Total: 453euros (hopefully)
Seams to me, here in Greece (AGAIN!) the costs are SUPER HUGE, comparing with the costs, that our dear British are spending...
(And, I would not mention, that a SIMILAR profession in England, gives triple salary than the Greek one!... My buddy told me about a British nurse's salary, which is similar with a Greek... surgeon's salary!)
Damn... To make a descent Spartan outfit, like I would,... it will cost here the prise of a kitchen, a fridge and an air conditioner!!!
('Cause, I guess, making a "Linothorax" is CHEEPER than a "Bell-type" full-bronze cuirass...)
