This is what my cuirass looks like now... I made all the appliques but I still have to make the shoulder doublers and the sub armor.
This thread shows how I made the appliques:

Putting the debate over leather, linen, brass or bronze aside for a moment... It was quite a struggle to make this appear as authentic as I could. No one seemed to make the Roman style gorgon head (with an eagle and ribbon under chin) I had the hardest time finding gryphons to flank a candelabra, and no where could I find a small appliqué of Lupa nursing Romulus & Remus… this undertaking was quite a bit more difficult that I thought it was going to be in the beginning.
