hahahahaha you bite too quickly!
i merely wanted to point out that this has NOTHING to do with reconstruction nor re-enactment!! the topic should have been named: how to make hollywood style leather armour!
The Romans probably would have laughed very very loud seeing those things...
you may be angry about me saying this in such a harsh manner, but whereas the METAL praetorian helmet is a fair attempt at reconstructing something historical, the leather and plastic stuff and the appliques are NOT!!
so either you start hammering, and learn metal skills, or buy deepeeka and try to redo it if you dont want to bother, but please pease do not call these things reconstructions, cuz clearly they are not! and it sure is not re-enactment.
and in my opinion you honour the legacy of our ancestors better by trying to learn and master THEIR skills, than using modern chemical stuff...
