Ok, new year new project! The kids have a Shakespeare day coming up in march, where they are encouraged to go to school dressed as their favorite character. Seth with almost no prompting from me, has decided he wants to go as Mark Anthony (from Anthony and Cleopatra). This is handy as while skip diving at work I had come across hundreds (possibly thousands) of piezo discs, which as everyone knows, are thin discs of brass which when a current is applied vibrate to produce a sound. But ignoring that feature they look just like roman scale Armour, as worn by the higher ranking officers. Perfect. :-)

 

These are a few of the discs, using an old hole punch I can make a neat hole in each one for assembly.

Here is a section laid out to get an idea of how it will look, the answer is fantastic!

Probably wont use it but I'm also looking at the lower ranking paneled roman Armour (there is a possibility that the brass Armour may be a little heavy! )

More soon...
