In this video, I put on each and every piece of my Hoplite panolopy and weigh them as I go. This witnesses the first time I try everything on. Comfort and mobility are quite good and the pieces interact very well.
Stay tuned for a follow-up video where I will go into more detail about everything I made for this set.

You finally did what we all have dreamed once in our lives.I will already wait till your next video.Thanks for this unique content and explanation and process which literally nowhere can be found online.Maybe there are around 5 people in the whole world doing those recreations at least of whom i am aware of but you show us the whole making behind the scenes which is really unique.Its my dream to work in experimental archaiology and you inspire me a lot.
Only thing I'd like to see, is you double up on your pteruges strips, having them overlap so that cover you as they are intended, it's a easy fix and I think would look alot better. As it stands right now, the pteruges would be pretty ineffective against thrusting or slashing strikes. I also understand this is just a costume, so you do you.
i agree....was thinking the same thing
Props for the amount of hard work that went into this. Massive amount of skill. And I enjoyed the gladiator joke. No one I know ever gets that one!
Thak, I’m one of the unfortunate ones to have just recently found your channel. That being said, I’m glad I didn’t have to wait 3.5 years to finally see how magnificent it all came together. I’m currently working through your older videos. Great job, man.
Man that looks so sick all together
So cool! I aspire to make armor like you some day
It's been almost two years since i found this channel. Kudos man, this looks awesome!
Great work Thak! It’s wonderful work 🤘
Great work! ^^ Thanks so much for sharing
You're ripped for a senior:)
Correct or not Rob the craftsman ship that you put into making these incredible pieces is out standing. And seeing it all come together in the end was absolutely spectacular. :)
Extremely impressive!!! The hoplite set you have made is superb!
I've always found the hoplite soldier to be one of the most fascinating soldier in the history of warfare to look at. They are just mesmerizing!
Looks great!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Amazing! Well done.
very nice!!!!
It was amazing!
This is incredible craftmanship. I love the attention put into details and historical research, with a touch of liberty and personnalization that makes this piece of art truly unique and awesome. Great work Thak!
Well done Thak. Looks brilliant with all the pieces together.
Go raibh maith agat Thak.
He is the chosen one! He will bring the wrath of the Gods to the Persians! Hahaha
can you do another video with this armor on?
we are going to do one with better closeups of the whole thing
@@ThakIronworks can't wait to see it :D
great job but to me you look more like till lindemann from rammstein then gerard butler and it's a compliment from me :D
i have been told i look like him before du hast
Its now time for Tuatahi racing stile axe?
I was waiting for that response
Hahahaha =D
I cant wait for that video!!
@@kalifammm it is in the works now
God blas youu man!! You are awsomeee.... thanks.
are you Canadian? i knew it
Yup
Careful, they'll get you for cultural appropriation
You look like a god in your armor!
Hephaistos is definitely proud of you!!!
This is how, or something like that, real hoplites probably felt like this 2500 years ago.
Daddy Thak on the Promahos grind !
Don't know if it's battle ready, but sure as hell looks Lakedaimonian!
Holy shit, this looks much better than i expected. Yeah, there are many historically inaccurate details, but it looks cool anyway
I want to be Thak when I grow up! Fantastic arrangement of gear sir! Cant wait for the Gladiator set. 🤟🏼
As a northern barbarian, you look Greek enough to me! Just beautiful work, the cuirass, the greaves, the sword, the helmet, it's all fantastically done. I think you really straddle that line between historically accurate and creative liberties very well. Not 100% accurate, but not overly stylized either, it still looks like you went by the real thing as guides.
I think the first video I saw of yours was the cuirass, then I went back and checked your other videos, always waiting for the next hoplite piece!
thanks for getting it...really appreciate your reponse
Awesome, you must be very proud, turned out amazing!
Watched everyone of the build veideos for this kit and damn does that look amazing. well done thak look forward to whats next
Fucking awesome, the commitment is admirable
This is exactly what we wanted to see . Looks fantastic historically accurate or not ❗️
I'm Very Surprised on How this Kit Turned out, I will be still be interested if you keep doing "Cosplays" Or More Historical Like Outfit's Or improve This state Outfit You've Showed.
i was Following you're Channel When I Was looking on how i could make a Hoplon or a Hoplite Shield.
Looks awesome
Suns out guns out
words to live by brother
You can loose some weight if you get rid of the leather pteriges(that leather gorget and skirt) and if the sword's handle was made of organic material like bone or wood. It would be closer to the historical counterpart too. But damn the armor bits look awesome!
The sword handle is wood. The leather bits hardly accounted for any of the weight and it really doesn't feel like it needs to be much lighter.
This is astonishing and amazing my friend
Thats finally all come together! Man it looks awesome 👌 👏
I'm also really glad you had the final list of what weighed what in lbs and kgs it's been very interesting 😀
The set definitely looks legit! I think maybe the breastplate, and shield are tied for the best looking pieces. My least favorite aspect is that the almost spherically rounded top of the helmet, kinda makes your head look really big. :)
Thak just wanted to flex on the fact that he is more muscular than his armor lol.
That must be an amazing feeling to have the whole set completed. It looks really cool! I started watching this channel when I found the shield video.
you also do some amazing work
Nice to see you didn't fall for the Hollywood nonsense of the arm-bracers, literally nobody used those.
purposely steered clear of that one
damn that is seriously badass
Absolutely amazing . So so cool Very talented. Great job bud 👍👍👍
I AM GREEK,.... I WILL TELL YOU 2 REAL SORT STORIES FROM ANCIENT SPARTA.
1st) One day an Athenian asked a Spartan why for Spartans is a shame to throw their shield on battle and not a shame to throw their thorax or their helmet....The Spartan answered to him.... because thorax and helmet is for your own personal protection, but shield is for protection of all phalax.!!!
2nd) A Spartan had paind on the center of his shield a real size fly....someone, asked him,.....Why you have painted a small real size fly on your shield while most Spartans they have painted much biger paints on their shields......the Spartan answer....Then my enemy will be very close to me and my shield, will watch this small fly as a Lion.!!!
I binged through this project, and there is one picture which will always stay branded into my mind: " *I am Thak, and I'm sawing my skirt* "
Incredible work and a very informative video. It is hard to get accurate weights on ancient armor. This was exactly what I was looking for on the subject. Thanks!
How the hell are you 7lbs lighter than me but looking significantly bigger. Im 5'9" so maybe I have some height on you?
Fantástic, Excélsior, I learned so much with you! Please continue with this amaizing channel
awesome !!!!!!!!!! how much for just a simple version of helmet sword shield and skin guards 😆
Over 3 years? I can't believe I've been watching your vids for that long, it felt like one year. Great work
Looks good on ya. Absolutely fantastic work you have done. You are indeed a credit to your profession. Oh if only I were young again.
From London Ont... stay safe and sharp.
You look to be at a pretty good build with that weight. Maintain that and build endurance at this point, unless you want to start to seriously bulk up, but that takes a lot of work for most people.
Also, running long distance in armor, at least a linothorax, was an Olympic event and was very difficult. No helmet though, but I guess that would be seriously crazy with how hot it would be and how heavy it is.
If you’re not too worried about historical anachronisms and wanted to add more you should consider some of the surviving archaic hoplite panoplies, or even Mycenaean, but if you want to keep the classical look you’ve already got that covered splendidly
It's been told that an Athenian walked up to a Spartan warrior and asked him why they used such short swords. And the Spartan warrior answered, "It's long enough to reach your heart". And the Athenian walked briskly away.
Довольно Леонид
That is literally the best looking armor I have ever seen! Not to mention that it is the real deal, none of that foam stuff!
Man, am I jealous, I’ve been making a Roman legate style kit but it sure doesn’t compare to what you have wrought.
Bravo!
What a project, nothing else like it that I've seen on video. Can't believe those guys had to soldier in 60 plus pounds of equipment
Is finally complete, awesome!!!
This is incredible. Absolutely amazing work, looks awesome!
Nice work, but I gotta say these days a soldiers kit weigh a bit more.. my kit was 105 pounds total
Ypu look absolutely fantastic my friend, I wish u was in the States, we so need to train together, well fo e again, can't wait for more.
Man that's amazing the only thing it's missing is the arm gauntlets or forarm protection. looking forward to seeing the gladiator one. Hell of a job
Help of a job you did there Thack! Grecian arms and armor isn't by area of study, but it looks darn good to me.
Nice work. I would not be surprised if a cyclops or hydra comes looking for trouble!
What a fantastic journey this was to follow you along on. Thanks for sharing it with us all!
Amazing!
Awesome build. Didn’t they wear gauntlets too?
Looks bom
But Thak you miss the rope inside the shild what ever thay where for ! Now Thak march on to war :P
Awesome
As a soldier in the 80's, I usually carried 60 lbs of kit. So, it sounds right
The armor set looks so amazing
Badass
This looks awesome. Would love to see full uruk-hai armor set at some point the future. Video game armor sets and weapons also generate a lot of views too
Very nice, can you make more Greek things afterwards? As far as I know, you are the only channel that does stuff like this.
We will see
with all that metal id say a lightning wizard is probably the worst thing you could face
WOW THAK THAT LOOKS WICKED.
Dude, congrats! Great results
Just extraordinary what you've done here and what they must have had to go thru back then also to make the same outfit thousands of times
Yyyyyyyeeeeessssssss. Awesome. Looks better than I imagined
Can you prove Ikea is not historically accurate ;p
Looks really awesome and very intimidating!
That is the most badass thing I've seen in a long time. Well done Thak.
Once fully donned you totally transformed. I can't imagine how in awe a kid would be if they saw you walking around in that. I make fantasy and weapon jewelry and dream about making my stuff life-size someday. I spend hours on your channel. Thanks for the content!
Wow I just have to say I admire you . Great job!!!!
That’s so sick when it’s all together
Incredible stuff. Really looks badass
Oh dam i just love the helmet from the film Gladiator its so mean !
I can't wait to see the long cheek guard helmet
Truly a work of art .good stuff
Screw history, you look pretty damn cool
So awesome to finally see this all together!!! Amazing work!
wonderful craftsmanship
This look so fucking good man! Respect for all the effort and skill going into it.
insaaaane! the dream armor you did there! be proud!!
Amazing and incredible work!
That looks awesome. You have some great talent.
