New Prototype BKBT Chest Armor

[AdmFrancis]

..well after watching and comparing other (movie) shots, maybe i have little suggestion for improvement ¿ :rolleyes

I believe that the measurements are correct, in the vertical cut I agree. But I continue believing that they are very good. (The PIC is from Portugal Expo)

 

[AdmFrancis]

maybe not so much shorter......

These plates are rub n' buffed. I probably won't do cold cast as it will be harder to match existing armor pieces & helmets. My mannequin torso may be throwing things off a bit. I made sure to curve the belly plate slightly to match the reference photos I have. It will line up better with the chest plates once it is actually attached to a vest. Once I cast up this piece I'll check the alignment & make any modifications & another mold if necessary.

I haven't had much time to look at these again, but after looking at AdmFrancis' pic I photoshopped an overlay & the ab plate looks a little long & needs to be shortened. There are a couple of other discrepencies I want to take care of & then I'll post a better set of pics.

There are no plans to do a backplate as these are so large that they are VERY expensive to ship.

Trust Canada Post with THESE??? NEVER, I'd drive to the Island and pick them up myself. Awe inspiring work!:love

I also look forward to gettting a set when ready. Any chance you will have them done before C IV?

 

[JangoUri]

I'm agree with AdmFrancis. The bottom pice looks to long for me. but just a bit. Anyways, great armor!

Just a quick update: I made a temporary mold of the left chest plate so I could cut the slots in it. I wanted to be able to quickly make another plate in case I screwed up the placement. The ab plate I gave more of a curve to fit closer & I marked out where I thought it needed to be trimmed. After a quick photshop overlay, I can see I will need to trim off a bit at the top as well. It is hard to get all of the plates to line up exactly at the same anglw but I think I am pretty close on this. Please note that the collar armor & center diamond are the old ones, I left the new ones at my shop & couldn't photgraph them. These are now ready for molding & I just need to whip up a set of shoulder bells.
