Armor concept design

     I was inspired by a guy in the Dag boards, named Lizerd King, armor. It was a leather brig mantel. It reminded me of Egyptian mantel armor. It got me thinking, and I liked it. It was good shoulder and upper torso protection, could have good mobility and would be made cheeper, possibly with scraps. The more I thought of it, the more I liked it.

     Anyway, I got carried away. And ended up designing an armor concept, that I may try some day in the future when I get the money for leather.

     I think the "plates" of leather on the mantel would be thinner (width not thick) to give better movement, and maybe sectioned in to 3 from neck hole to edge rather than 2.

What do you think of it? Is it good? Bad?
