Rate this scale from ring lord - 2005/06/29 11:56 Hey guys,

Re:Rate this scale from ring lord - 2005/06/29 12:36 Fitz, I have seen numerous Scale shirts from people on TRL's forum (I am ALWAYS there). The scales are held together with split-rings. So depending on which kind you get, it can either be very strong, or not very strong. The reason I say split rings is that reular butted rings (like most maille) tend to pull apart and have gaps. Split rings are basicly key chain rings. The scales themselves, are fairly strong. TRL (if I'm not mistaken) buys a fishing lure, then machines stamps for cutting more basicly. The scale shirts are worth the money to make.

I hope that helped.

Re:Rate this scale from ring lord - 2005/06/29 12:47 I'm thinking 3 to 4 pts, could rate it a by few different paths.

Augmented Chain 4pt base
-1 for thinner materails
+1 for smaller/split rings
possible +1 for looking damn kewl

Or Scale 5pt base
-1 for thinner materials

Re:Rate this scale from ring lord - 2005/06/29 13:12 i'd go with 3.

potentially +1 for the boobies.

my reasoning is that its not really chain, the weave is HELLA loose on the underside. if you made a regular 3pt shirt and added these i'd give you 4 for augmented. but if you made the weave these use and presented it, it would be unlikely to score a full 3 points in my opinion.

so, augmented chain base 4, -1 for looser weave.

that said... i think this stuff is HELLA sexy. wish i had the money, patience and free time to make a shirt for myself. "But right now I'm a little concerned about my pants, since I don't know where they are." - Valathina Nailo
