Well the bad thing about these armour is that they are only decorative but they give a good idea on the how-to make them. With some minor modification on the build-off you could make them wearable.

Dude, I am drooling on my keyboard. I *so* want a cuirasse like that, replete with faulds & all. Hooboy.
The best thing is, it makes me want to take up armouring.
