Scale and lamellar look similar and are built in opposite directions.Backing versus lacingScale armour hangs overlapping plates from a leather or cloth backing, like roof tiles, flexible, and the backing carries the weight. Lamellar has no backing at all: the plates are laced directly to each other, which makes a stiffer, stronger shell that can be repaired plate by plate. Lamellar dominated across Central and East Asia for that reason.Made to order in steel.
