Achilles cuirass build
My last project was an interesting collaboration with a client who is building a panoply based on Homer's description of the armour of Achilles, and on archaeological evidence. My contribution is the following cuirass, finished to the point where the customer can integrate a leather liner using the holes furnished. Black leather lacing and suspension are temporary. Pauldrons decorated in the same fashion are to follow.

Do the shield please :D :D :D .
That has been an ambition of mine since I first read the Iliad, and would be a wonderful project. I suspect that many of the magnificent parade shields of the 16th C took some inspiration from that text as well.

Beautiful work. I really like this one.
That is a wonderful piece of functional art. Truly masterful!
Looking forward to seeing this project completed, excellent work. :cool:
