Wow, leather really is the new trend for muscle armour...very odd considering the HEAVY lack of evidence for it as a muscled armour for officers!

Well why not just do away with the leather and make it out of fiberglass then you can get any detail you want. You can even etch and grind into it. Then you can just paint it.
Or you could just order the high detial high impact plasitic ones ones on the market.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian

Nope the back has not been done. I might have someone do it but honestly normaly you would have a cape on so its not like anyone would see it.

Common assumption that what we can't find in metal must be organic materials that erode faster than the metal versions. I seem to remember some older assumptions that seg were leather, too?

Moderator note: Sorry to you as well Daniele- same reason as above.
Then there is that bronze etruscan muscolata from Robinson, in the TlClarck website, that suggests similar use by the Romans: [url:24ga9g9z]http://astro.temple.edu/~tlclark/lorica/bronze_leather.htm[/url] Valete,
