Looks good! You seem to be using an uncut neckline? After examining a lot of art lately I'm considering switching to a wider round round one with no slit. The Sarcophagus is a wonderful source, especially the restoration, and I'm going for the red-and-blue one worn by the rider in the middle.
It never occurred to me to make a leather chape. I finally cast one that's not too messed-up to use (pewter, yes, but I'll imagine it's very high-tin bronze) after half a dozen tries -- it's still really rough and ugly, but I'm out of patience and I'm using it.

I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

Well, I'm tough, rough, ready and I'm able
To pick myself up from under this table...
