Waitaminut---The thong-style is actually accurate? I just did it so the cod had a curve to it.
BTW, update on my backplate: There are 6 spots that require gluing to ensure a proper fit. One is fully dried, the second is about 50-70% cured now. I will do one each day, which will bring it to being finished the day before halloween.
I will also give the rest of my armor a fresh coat of paint, as I finally discovered the reason for the peeling and chipping: The sealer I used was meant for acrylic based paints, not spraypaint. It hardened it to the point of making the paint a hard shell that cracks when bent.
GCNgamer128, I'll be waiting for those pics and that tutorial.
Thanks for all the help,
