Archie Zietman Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 armourarchive.org has a good forum, they can help you out. Basically cut reasonably thick sheet steel into shapes, and either sink it from the inside with a round hammer, or pack it slowly around forming stakes, like a silversmith, just hotter.

Wayne Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 For Roman armour go to the library and see if they can get you a copy of - Excavations at Corbridge, the hoard. By L Allason-Jones and MC Bishop. 1988 Published by English Heritage ISBN 1 85074 191 3. During an excavation the remains of a chest was found containing roman armour that had been put into storage alond with a load of other finds - tools, spear/arrow heads etc. This book looks at the finds with scale drawings of the of artifacts along with discussion and reconstruction of the armour.
