    Wellas, it's been a long time coming, but it's finally here. I'm expanding my target market to people who have organs and wish to protect them, which is why today is my completed treadplate body armor video. I've replaced all fabric and foam with gen-you-wine leather, upgraded the back, and added side armor. Very epic, as I'm sure you guessed.

    I am not gonna lie, I've seen a lot of tread plate armor today and was thinking this was going to be a big waste of my time. However after watching I realize these just might be the best I've seen all day.

    When you make the articulated helmet, you could try and see how case hardening works out for the parts. The thinner gauge material you´ll probably have to use can only benefit from that, plus it makes for a cool weathered finish.

    • @FumblsTheSniper

      Sixteen guage mild steel plate would be more than enough to stop anything that isn't coming out of a gun, but the untreated leather wouldn't give much protection against say, a man with a knife and a bone to pick with you. I guess if you have sufficient padding underneath it wouldn't be the end of the world, but it would've been a pretty bad day.

    Drill in tune with the music was a nice touch.

    Anyone else notice how he synched up each cut perfectly to the music? The editing on this video was amazing.
