thanks! the bezel in the center of the buckle is made out from a vinyl foam placemat, the buckle itself is made from illustration board covered in plumber's putty/epoxy, the screws are just ends of roofing rivets, the links are eva foam, and the silver highlights on it are vinyl placemats again, paint used is bronze "Bosny or RJ London" acrylic epoxy spray paint ( with take photo of the can).
 
You said that you couldn't add the sealant to any spots that move or that it would crack, how are you smoothing out the rest of it, then?

You may have answered this already, sorry if I looked over it.

I salute your creativity, very well done. about this plumber putty, do you think armour pieces could be sculpted out of it than glued to, say, a wetsuit? does it shrink when dry?

yep. most anything can be sculpted from it, its basically some type of epoxy clay (primary use is to seal plumbing leaks, will set even underwater), that sets to concrete hardness, although it begins to set in a couple of minutes and cures in about an hour or two, so must be fast when doing the sculpt, i have not noticed any shrinkage but i could have just overlooked it.
