Gaius Vitruvius just about finished his first segmentata.. about 24 hours of labor over 3 weeks
Still needs some minor adjusting, a tweak or two here and there
Here a bend there a bend everywhere a plate bend..
Old Hibernici had a fabrica
EE aye EE aye Oh
.. sorry.
Lightly hammered plates, tinned, chisel cut fittings
All plates are after the Corbridge variations; proportioned and cut to fit the individual.
Note how nearly square the breast plates sit on his torso.. no subarmalis yet.
Not sure if Matt L is interested in seeing this as he has me "ignored".. maybe someone can post him direct?
