I usually wax outside, a few minutes in the sun, warms the armour and makes the wax very easy to apply.

The arm harness looks very early, the breastplate also looks like it's very early as well, probably modified late in its working life into a cuirass, with the plackart and faulds added..I could be wrong though, I think I often am.

I like a thin layer of leather on the outside, I think it cushions the blows a wee bit and makes the wood last a tad longer.

I " think" he paints it with linseed oil and bakes the finish on in the forge. Then polishes the "white" areas to a high polish. I could be wrong as I'm going from memory on this.

I think you might be right about that, if they dont have the funds in their account, they might opt to send a E check. A bit underhanded, imho, esp.if they have been hounding you about the orders. :( I'd be tempted to add them to a list of folks I woudnt do bidness with in the future! :wink:
