"What was a I thinking" moment: this is going to take a long time. I've started constructing the first row. The overlapping lames have been cemented together and all that remains is punching about 60 holes, stitching the lames together and at the same time stitching row 1 to row 2. Cutting the shapes and dying them was not very time consuming, but the construction phase is slow!
Pictured here are the last two rows of the front of the breast plate. The top row is piece of tooled 9 oz leather, the bottom row is the overlapping lames.
