Howdy, Well I started another armor, I put my other one on the back burner for now. I started this yesterday and pretty much finished the base of it just now. I plan to add some shoulder protection, and then some basic Greek/Roman clothing to it. Please tell me your thoughts so far. Thanks

Nicely sculpted. But difficult to don. Are you planning to split it into breast- and backplate, then add straps?

Also, it looks like the edges of the arm-holes in the front would dig in with any arm motion in that direction... I'd reccomend trimming them a little. Otherwise, excellent work! What's the poly count?

Remember, kids! Napalm is Nature's Toothpaste!

LOL @ Little Dragon! That WAS the first thing that struck me, too. Of course, you could put little baby Spartans into it, and make them wear it constantly until they were formed in place like a mold. :wicked grin: If they never slouch, they'll never develop posture problems. Carolly

How about trying it with Daz's tunic? Looks good anyway.

I agree LittleDragon and Carolly...the war would be over by the time they figured out how to get into it. The design itself is nice, but definately need to split it front/back with some type of straps on the sides and the top for easy access to get into :)

Any update on this item?

Howdy, Sorry for the lack of updates. I had just currently enlisted in the United States Marine Corps so the last week has been quite busy for me. I had already gone through and split the front from the back and attached an updated picture of it. I hope to model the straps and buckles by the end of this week, if not I have 7 months until bootcamp to do it =]. Thanks for the replys guys/gals. Thanks

Looks kewl. This gonna be a freestuff item or marketplace? Thanks, Dave

Howdy, Thanks again. Well I plan to make this an entire set, the armor, clothes, weapons and such. Once it's all complete I'll think about it. Thanks

Is he going to wear a quilted tunic or leather jerkin or SOMETHING under it? It occurs to me that unless there is padding, any dents from being bashed will force the metal directly into his skin. (Ouch!) Remember Guillaume d' Marechal being pried out of his armor after a tournament? ...and they didn't have can openers in those days! If this is simply parade armor to be worn over silk, then the trim fit is fine. If there is a risk that somebody with a mace or halbard will strike a blow, then please reconsider the fit. The top of the shoulders appears to be a weak point, since straps will be vulnerable. Another piece of armor over each top? Or move the seam position? Carolly
