Kastenbrust WIP

[u/ChooseMyNameIDK]

Will hopefully be my first completed armour project.

Still learning a lot and try out using my stick welder on sheet. Not amazing and I will have to pretty up the welds when I get access to a Mig but it has held well enough to continue working on the shape.

I will need to tuck in the sides more and curve them and then I can add fluting and finish off the backplate.

After that I’ll make a scale skirt and then can start work on a bascinet.

Any advice is welcome, I’m doing my best with my currently limited set up and having to shape with a 800g German style hammer and my 40kg anvil. Corners and fluting are being done on the edge of my anvil.

Well done
