Muscled thorax fastenings

[Chris B]

Thanks. It's too late now for the edges. I guess I got that order wrong. I think it will fit right though since the form fits perfectly. I also made the subarmour from the form and have worn it tight to the body so I can see the way it follows my body.

On a side note, I am not rolling the edges where the hinges go so I can still trim from those edges. We shall see. Hopefully it wasn't a huge mistake.

I do not know the exact composition of the bronze sheet I bought, but it can be found here. It is under raw materials and metals. It is relatively easy to work with, but it feels a bit harder than 16 gauge brass I have used in the past for other projects.

Here are the update pics for Sunday. I have started to curve the front and back plates. I have dished the back plate generally, formed the upper back muscles roughly, and turned up the collar. I have also posted a pic of the beginning work for the front plate. I will probably not post many pics from here out on the back because it will be finishing work, fine adjustments, and polishing. I hope to have the back plate finished in a couple weeks and then I will post another update. Thanks for everyone's help.
