I've made a formed cuirass for my sister, we did a plaster negative, then a fiberglass positive to form the leather over. You can check out our tutorial

And yes, it was a lot of work even before starting the leather.

A couple of days out at the Ren Faire in Texas, no problems. The whole thing is slightly more flexible than some water boiled leather and oven hardened experiments I've tried. I still wouldn't leave in the car in the summer...
