Greetings,
I finally finished my lamellar project.

I built it with WMA plates and RQP fittings. I'm more than a little pleased at the results.

Looks great... If I might ask, what was your reasoning for putting the curved side of the plate on the backside of the armor?

Everybody builds them with the curve on the outside. I wanted something with a different aesthetic.

Purty. You did good.
The fittings are a real nice touch.

Thanks, it's my wife's.
It's not leather, I used maroon paracord.
