Slave Byron,
I actually only read about the white cuirass with traces of red and blue, I never actually SAW the Augustus restore... wow!
I see also that there appear to be at least two rows of tongues on the lower sub armor, one red the other blue, with the fringe not gold but actually blue. The same on the arms... two colors with the fringe matching one of the colors... in this case blue.
Also, the embossing is painted too! Not just solid gold or solid silver as I would have imagined.
Very interesting! I have to re-think my painting scheme a bit, I still think I'll go with the red/white/gold motif but, the way I have to dye all the components is a bit different than I've seen before by others.... very interesting!!!
Awesome, thanks and THANKS again!
