Plate and Scale together?
Below is a picture of the rear of my kit. As can be seen I have Maile Covering the skirt of the backplate. I was considering making that rear skirt scale instead of maile. The purpose is to reduce weight and if possible to make the rear portion of the kit more appealing to the eyes. I am more interested in getting the kit as close to historically accurate as I personally can, and this is where I need the assistance of the fine people here.
1. Would this combination of plate, maile, and scale be at all historical in any way?
2. Should I replace the rear leggings with scale in place of the maile as well?
This is the scales I would purchase and they would be afixed to a padded garment.
