The armor is full steel. I have just painted it to look worn and “experienced”

Can’t strap the breastplate solo without longer straps lol.

Fun fact, the breastplate isn’t small, solitary breastplates are sized like this so the wearer stoll has full range of motion. If it was any longer you wouldn’t be able to bend or lean.

Jammies are also on. Couldn’t be bothered to change into my trousers.

speaking of legs, I made arming points for the leg harness and they work GREAT!

This Wenzel bascinet isn’t my main helm for this fit even though it would be more historically accurate to this style of armor.

My armet just isn’t finished and painted yet, but that will be my main.

Also omitted is the maille skirt I have on order and the cloth layer of the armor.

Just wanted to see how everything sized up.

    Oh, also what I am wearing under the breastplate is a padded textile armor called a gambeson. Adds more protection and padding. Good stuff!

      Right. That’s the name of the padding. I could remember it for the life of me. I was more knowledgeable about this stuff like 10 years ago. Now I deal with such tremendous amounts of information each day, that I’m lucky to remember my own name by the end of it.
