It's okay. I have test fitted it already and it looks like it will fit me perfectly. The body is 100% finished. The Yoke will be glued to the body tonight and it should be done within 36 hours. I really couldn't have done it without your help and it looks beyond any expectation that I ever had. Thanks a million.
I decided to paint one big scorpion on the yoke and it looks pretty cool to me. The body is on the back with the head & jaws coming up the neck protector, and then one claw is coming over each shoulder to the right and left. It basically looks like a big scorpion riding on your back hugging you. I used the same ones as on my Boeotian shield but it is black instead of white.
Oh, and my idea for the top row of scales worked like a charm. I just put bias tape on the top edge to hide the stitching. It looks really good. I'll get pics up in the next couple of days.
