Coool! Mate, don't forget that armor consists of two almost identical halves. I'll post my WIP pics very soon

Can't wait to see what you come up with, Vold.

Guys, is it correct model of cuirass?
PS it's just a sketch, not final product!

Hey Vold!
Yup, the armor, or brigandine as it's called, looks like it has the correct shape so far:

Front:

Back:

Yes, you've got it good, basically.

However, DO NOT copy the replica model that is sold on the web. It's wrong and is missing a whole row of plate! The correct number is 4, not 3!!!

Ok, and what about back side?

 

[**16k**]

I think that the back is right. The front collar is slightly square. However, I've studied stills and obviously, Gibson used several brigandines as some have tacks along the collar, some don't, some are weathered and some aren't! So I guess you have a lot of leeway here!

 

[Vold]

Ok. So, I already cut out 4 brigandines for perseus body. Used old NKVD brown coat

Whoops! You're right, mate. Hadn't noticed that. Sorry for the incorrect pics

 

[**16k**]

Don't worry, I got fooled on my prototype too!
