Hey all,
I'm working on pauldrons to attach to my cuirass and I'm hoping to get some questions answered or worked on.
Specifically, I'm worried about getting the lames to lay right. I want to make hussar-style pauldrons like this:

But maybe with fewer lames.
The point is I'm not sure how to attach them to the underlying leather straps running parallel to the upper arm. I'm not sure how far down the lame I want them riveted so they hold the structure, but don't become rigid. I want flexibility so that when I move them can shift a bit, but I don't want them flopping all about.
Thanks for any input,
Edwin/Tim
