Lord Thomas-

I am also where you are in terms of beginning construction of a Japanese
armor. I have a general idea of what I want but have not yet nailed down
specifics.  I have some reference works on the subject that are generally
available in bookstores in the NoVA area; if you want titles, let me know.
I'd be glad to talk further with you offline re building armor in this
style; perhaps we could exchange some ideas, particularly if you are in NoVA
also.  Please feel free to send me a note.
