An interesting fact is that Date Masamune and his army from Sendai used a special pattern of armor unique to them...I think it looks quite a bit like his SW2 torso armor and it's worth trying out. Edit: I am also a masochist who actually dreams of making this for use in the SCA. Thus, the headache. Edited by Greenzaku, Jan 12 2009, 01:32 PM.

I join Manji in wishing you good luck if you try it, Greenzaku. It would be great to have such a realistically-made and accurate armour.
