Tweak my T&Y (linothorax/spolas) pattern, ca 500bc
#12
Good!!! This is much improvement. I can't wait to see it finished.
Here are my suggestions: Leave some space between the neck guard and the shoulder flaps,so that the shoulders are alwasy the same width. It may look wrong,but when the pteryges are pulled down,this space is invisible. Also,i have checked this detail in the Mars of Todi statue and in a skythian scale t&y and it's there in both. It will much relieve your neck!
I would also shorten the pteryges slightly more,like two cm.
Last, i suggest you try to find a convincing way to whiten the leather. There are a number of leather cuirasses out there,very few of which are white,and this is a bit sad,because whenever artists decided to use colour,they almost always "chose" white,and this is not represented in re-enactors today.
Keep us updated and good luck!

EDIT: I also think the old hight of the back cover was better. It's better to be attached a bit high,although most re-enacotrs have a tendency to place it too low. For this it needs to be shorter.
