Corbridge A Breastplates - to cross or not cross diagonally?
#70
Quote:150+ segs and the 10's of thousands of man hours of use we've put them through does not make me "historicaly right" but it gives me a unique perspective. Based on that, accumulated stress on fittings, attachment points and straps becomes "in your face" evident.

Sorry Hibernicus, but the only thing that is evident is that you are ignoring the actual evidence. It is far too easy (and convenient) to dismiss this evidence as "a box of old scrap", but somebody took a great deal of care and effort to save that scrap, and indeed maintained that "scrap" for quite some time judging by the evidence of repairs. Until this box of scrap was discovered just what was known about seg construction?


Quote:Bishops prefers a squarer fit and my experience backs that theory.

Your experience is based upon making segs that ignore the evidence as far as I can tell, which is fine by me. Interesting though your observations are I honestly believe they would be more interesting if your segs followed the evidence a little more closely. Just my opinion of course.
