Looks awesome, great work!
I'm curious about the straps — do they connect at the back similar to how it looks from the front? How do you don/doff the spaulders — is there a latch or other adjustment stuff we can't see? How comfortable are the straps?
I ask because I have been considering making something similar, and I'm undecided at how to arrange things (it depends on what I decide to do for other armour pieces). I apologise if it seems like I'm interrogating you, I'm just an enthusiastic nerd
Oh no worries! The two straps going underneath my arms are buckled to another strap connected with a Chicago screw directly to the back of the spaulder. I didn't want to have a gorget or a cuirass as I'm going for more of a lightly armored spellcaster vibe but in a more complete set that's more of what it'd be attached to.
