The Night King - Prep 4b: The Armour--Cuirass

In lieu of a long-winded narrative, I will outline my reworking of the armour in an itemized s-b-s. . . Should any reader require additional details, please do not hesitate to ask in the Comments. . . 

27.03.2019--The "spaudlers" (shoulder guards) have been assembled, fitted, resized, and filed smooth. [NOTE: Filing off the surface "vents" is the most tedious aspect of the project to this point. Every "vent" must be replaced--including those that were left off in the original design!] Remember that the rear edge of the shoulder guards must be integrated with the back of the cuirass. The trailing lateral edge of each guard has been reshaped per the source. Finally, I 
have begun removal of the surface "vents", and finishing the surface of the cuirass.

30.03.2019--The back of the cuirass is effectively cleaned and finished. I also finished reworking the girdle proper, though I still have to model the "clasp". 11.04.2019--DONE!

31.03.2019--The "re-venting" of the armour has begun! Three columns of vents have been applied to the largest panel of the cuirass, Panel 2. 

03.04.2019--The "re-venting" of the armour continues to progress very nicely. That being said, this aspect of the project--front and back--is going to take 3-5 weeks to complete. I will post updates as each panel of the armour is completed. . .  

06.04.2019--The "re-venting" of Panel 2 has been completed! The medial vent columns on Panels 1 and 3 have been applied.

10.04.2019--Panel 3 has been completed!
  
13.04.2019--The cuirass has been completed!! The remainder of the weekend will be spent clean- ing- and touching-up. . .
