Decided I had outgrown my scratch built plastic/fibrerglass USCM armor and was ready for something metal. Not having a spare car to sell in order to get the man himself to make it, I decided to tackle the project on my own.
I will be using:
-2x vintage sleds (not actaully that much more expensive that new sheet 16G aluminum, and already 'dished')
-A mostly generic pre-made breastplate (will need chopped up to accurize)
-Mostly generic greaves (needs work to accurize)
-Real M1 Steel pot helmet
-Finest quality greeblies and bits I can find (real HM560 mic, lots of 'Noble' products, etc)
Started with paper templates
Traced them on to sled
cut them out
And got to hammering!
I think I am off to a good start, but tons and tons of work still to do....I will update as things progress.
