Everything in those pics looks pretty good... but which did you make? You said you didn't make the "Body armour", and while you could interpert that to mean the breast/backplate... To me, body armour means any armour that is on a human body (as opposed to armour for say, a tank, or some other vehicle).

Just confused Image

I can see that. I did not make the breast or backplate and the leatherwork isn't mine but the owners. Gaunts, Spaulders and elbows/lames are my work.

Yes, I can feel my hands and arms now. We cut another inch from the splints and leather. They now close with one strap.
How are you, Gaston? Monday nights are just not the same. We going to fight soon?
Last war has decided that it's the last time I wear the breast and back. Desparately need to cut some metal for that Corrazina.

We could probably arrange a front shot. I'd prefer it was over my pourpoint and the like. The jeans and t-shirt were supposed to be cropped out!
Guys, if you need armour, Cory's a sweetheart of a guy to deal with. So says my Wife. Couldn't be a happier customer.
Now waiting anxiously for the bascinet, legs MKII, arms MKII and greives :-p
I just did an Armourer review in the For Sale section. I couldn't be a happier customer. He truly is a Master.
