Review of my new RFH Breastplate kit

Post by Blk_jouster »

I ordered an Italian Breastplate kit from Cet back in early December. It arrived when he said it would. His communications where timely. I even asked him to do some modifications to the backplate making it with 5 lames rather then his standard 3 lame, for a slight up-charge that didn't even make me blink it was so reasonable. All in all my dealings with him have been fantastic. You can't beat the prices or quality of his kits. He says that you may need to do some trimming and some refitting. The pieces fit me perfectly right out of the box. Two of the plates on the backplate need to have about 1/4" trimmed off the sides. and 1 plate needed a tiny amount more dishing and I mean TINY. I couldn't have asked for a better quality kit especially for the price. Also all the plates are clearly marked where overlap should be as well as where they should line up with each other. Even the line for the natural waist where the flair should be is marked clearly making it extremely easy for me to start the stretching to create said flair. I can't even begin to say how pleased I am with Cet and this kit. I recommend anyone who doesn't have the time (ME) or the tools to do the major forming of the pieces to contact Cet. You won't be disappointed.

Without appropriate photos of said piece being worn or displayed in proper fashion. We could think that instead of paying Cet, He paid you to pimp him out..... :twisted:

Thanks Joseph!

I'll be adding more and better pics- I tend to forget to snap any befor shipping stuff.

I will be adding gauntlet pices to the Rough From the Hammer line of parts shortly along with articulated joints (you can articulate the current knee sand elbows but the new ones are redsigned for a mor ewhisatoric size and shapes)

Cet I've been taking great care finishing the kit. But believe me once I finish it pictures will be posted not only of the pieces you provided, but of my completed harness.
