Truly inspirational work, SP, as ever! You really get the best out of these plastic kits.
Can't say that it's the best representation of chainmail I've seen as it looks a bit like scale armour. But that's the sculpting and not to take away from your paintjob. Seriously got me considering a purchase. Oh well.

Amazing! Nevertheless, that mail armour must be heavy, with no waist belts to support the weight at the hips!
Yeah, that depiction, most likely derived from Trajan's column, is a bit off. Would have preferred to see these guys wearing waist belts, because it's an accepted detail nowadays. Despite the Bishop/Coulston comment, weight isn't that much of an issue as the baldric sliding with every movement.
