Crispvs,
Excellent!
You did a neater job than I did.
Thanks for posting your work. I like how you tapered the waist! I'll try to make that modification to my squamata.
I hope you don't keep the shirt lying flat on the ground. Whenever I do that the staples on the side plates become warped due to the weight and eventually come loose. I hang my shirt on coat hanger using several wooden hangers.
Have you tried cleaning your shirt yet? I've been trying several methods but no matter which one I use the process is very time consuming. So far I like using a dremel with a steel brush.
The most tedious part, I agree, is the stitching. At least when you're making the rows or the staples you can watch a movie at the same time.

Quote:I lost count around the time I started sewing them onto the backing and have not taken the time to count them since, but I think it was probably between four and a half and five thousand.I used about 1,400 plates but I didn't make a doubler and my plates are slightly larger.
