Well, though pics will have to wait til tomorrow, as it's way passed my bed time and I have work at 7 tomorrow and then a full day of classes, I've gotten a lot done in the passed few days.
I finished cutting out my custom made back plates a night or two ago and since TheSilentMando brought me the set of templates I printed out for him and his dremmel I've now got all of my armor base plates cut out except for my thigh plates. I'm really liking how the back plates turned out. I need to heat and form my two (front and back) collar pieces a bit, but they are generally the right shape.
I'll post pics tomorrow after I get some of the edges cleaned up!
