Here's all the plates attached to the leather backing that holds it all together and allows everything to flex, bend, and twist.
It isn't very clear, but you can also see the snaps that will attach this to whatever shirt, jacket, or whatever that this will be worn with. Since I didn't actually have any specific piece of costume or outfit in mind when I started planning this project, I decided to use snaps. That way I could wear it or not, or move around to different pieces, depending on what I want or need.
If you can't guess, that leather strap was cut from a leather belt. $3 at Good Will.
So that's it. The finished product. Over all, I'm pretty happy with the way it came out, and the work itself went a lot faster and smoother than a lot of my projects do. So satisfaction all around :)
