That's a great idea!
We know that medieval armours were of varying thickness,
and I think that your method translates perfectly to combat
armour.

Nodding.......one reason I use the welded center crease with the copper backing. The outside of the cop and wing take the most beating-so I made it stiffer. It's still not as good as a hand raised piece, like Patrick or Ugo can make, but I can do it for a much more reasonable price.
I also try to make my patterns with inside cuts that give enough for good overlap, but reduce excess wieght. I'm going to be reworking my patterns until I have very tight swings, and lines as close to origionals as possible. I'll be doing some one-piece pressed Gothic knees next. 14 gage cops, 16 the rest, four lames to a side-lots of flutes.
This style is pretty much the "economy model". But even munition grade armor should LOOK medieval, no?
