This is a nice sturdy piece!
It takes a lot of work, but it's worth it.
Unfortunately, I messed up and I will be able to start installing the buckles again.
My opinion is that you definitely need a buckle at the ankle.
This piece is also part of a complete costume, in which I have used the Tasset, the bodice and the leg protectors, the tiara and the underarm protectors, I have already designed them in this style myself.

pictures later.

I went with the alternate style that is included on the pattern and loved it! I went simple on the tooling but it worked out. Definitely recommend all these patterns. The accompanying videos really help with my confidence as well

This is my 4th pattern from Prince Armory. The video showing the process was awesome. I was so glad the 2nd option of attaching the spaulders to the breastplate was offered. The original version with the strap would have not worked well for this design. With each piece I craft I learn more from the accompanying videos. Highly recommended!

The picture shows two products, one is the leather armor torso and the other is the shoulder armor
I shaped it on the armor and water-shaped the skin with the chest part, so it was more reminiscent of a metal armor.
I didn't use the given motifs, but I made it unique with a lot of inlays.
The shoulder armor, which is made of 3.8 mm thick leather. I soaked it in water and dried it on the stove, so now it has a metal hardness.
Soon I will present my other works here.
I am very grateful to the Prince Armory team for sharing their knowledge and making it available to everyone. (they don't keep knowledge in the palm of their hand)
I will continue

I had a lot of fun doing this and learned a ton. I decided to go with no face plate as I already have a mask for my lower face. There is a 2.0 version in the offing.

Awesome patterns to work with and videos to learn from. I've been working with leather for a few but never tried anything like armor before, what a hoot! Steep learning curve with hides costs as high as they are. Thought I'd bump it up a notch and use 12-14 oz rightttt! Wow, but it's working.

My most favorite part of this project. I made the scales slightly larger, and instead of a belt, I attached the panels, front and back, to the articulating strap of the chest plate with post screws.

Another great pattern, easy to modify. I eliminated the bottom plate on the chest armor and attached the modified side tassets with screw posts instead of buckles. On the front tasset I eliminated one plate and permently attached the top plate to the lower chest plate with dome rivets, while the remainy plates were articulated.
