I bought a set of armor from FullMetalFett a while back and just about finished it. The cod and butt still need to be finished (painting) but the chest is about done. Since this is 1/8" aluminum, and came without dents, I couldn't get it exactly like the fiberglass stuff, but it is so cool when someone comes and knocks on your chest armor and you get that 'ding'. You always get a double take from the knocker!
This is my first set of armor, so in all truth, I should have started with something a little easier to work with, but the best part about metal armor is that all I have to do is add some stripper to the stuff and start over, (beleive me it comes in handy when you are learning!)
I don't know if FMF still makes the stuff, but he is an artist with metal. The curves and bends are perfect! Truly a great find! Oh, and in case you are wondering, because it is aluminum, it is lightweight and doesn't cause any problems like you may be thinking metal armor would cause.
