swivelsphinx Report post Posted August 26, 2008 I may be taking a comission on a breast plate. I am avoiding Roman style segmentata, as a large design must go on the front. However, multiple pieces can be used, so long as the frontmost "plate" is fairly solid. I do molded leather and sew, so I am ok with either single or multiple piece construction. However, this armor is for theatrical use only. It will be worn over clothing, and will not connect to anything else. The back will not be covered. I will use straps to attatch it to the person's body- the customer will want to be able to put it on himself. It's going to be mighty flashy- bright white with gold wings on the front, over a cassock- I'm thinking about the look of your typical "St. Michael" depiction.
