Yeah, still need to think that part through. The breastplate and plackart are quite a bit different in their dishing, so it won't be as easy as just removing the straps and putting a sliding rivet in the front. I might remove the tassets from the plackart, keep the plackart for WMA practice (wearing it by itself) and then attach the tassets directly to the breastplate like Allan did on other cuirasses:



I think I can handle that. I'm not sure about the gussets. Never done them before. The breastplate is too wide for me, but since it wasn't made for me ... can't complain. :) I know how they work and how they're assembled, but I don't know if I have the tools / ability to do them.

I got the email tickler from PB saying there were new uploads so I saw them before I got here.  Very nice, Sir James...I daresay you could outfit your own household at this rate!
