But I need help! I am usure as to what these dognles are, how they are used and thus, how I should pattern them. If anyone got any good ideas or knowledge please share. Second, I need a bunch of scythian GOLD! so send me gold! Or help me out figuring some smart solutions. So far I am just grabbing every decorative piece of metal I can and I will spray paint them gold, I'll take any ideas y'all can spare here. Specially if you know anything about how I could easily make images or emboss metal plates bought at the hardware store. Or if you know of any cheap metal stuff that looks fitting that I could buy online. Sorry for the late reply, probably not relevant anymore. The honor belts were intended to be overlapped on the body and tied kinda like a wraparound skirt. I imagined the ends would need to interlock and tie together pretty tightly to carry the weight, so that was sort of me freestyling something that looked plausible as a fastening mechanism. Feel free to invent something more functional! For the belt material itself I'd suggest something load-bearing and tough, leather or maybe felt? As for the plaques - I know some museums used to sell sheet metal stamping kits for making Scythian stuff, and if you were to make this - I would go for really thin sheet metal so that the weight is not massive and so that it can wear properly. Metal foil over wooden/bone plaques might also work? Edited July 11, 2023 by JanPospisil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was doing some metal embossing years ago, we'd make impressions in light metal sheets (usually copper) then fill the back sides with a mixture of wood glue and sawdust for strength. There were a variety of chemical treatments we'd use for different finishes, too, but spray paint may be simplest. !i! 1 Quote ...developer of White Rabbit Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
