Members PeterO Posted February 4, 2020 Members Report Posted February 4, 2020 Well it's been nearly a year since I first got into leather working. This is my most recent project, a leather cuirass with a matching oversized belt. Quote
Albob Posted February 4, 2020 Report Posted February 4, 2020 That looks amazing, I've never made anything like this but I can appreciate the work involved in just getting the compound curves to fit right. Nice job Quote When the poop hits the fan, we's all eleven bravos
Members Smartee Posted February 4, 2020 Members Report Posted February 4, 2020 Oh wow! That's amazing! Quote

Members Riem Posted February 5, 2020 Members Report Posted February 5, 2020 Looks very good! One question though: those little straps underneath the armpit cut out - won't thosebbuckles be problematic and scratch the wearer when it is in use?

And honestly in the long run idk, shes worn it a couple of times already and had no issues. I'm pretty new to armor making, but it seems rather common to have straps on the side under the arm from what I've seen in other makes. 17 hours ago, Samalan said: Wow thats Beautiful work ! 8 hours ago, Alectia said: Great job!
