None the less, I have made progress on my costume, which is good since I am two weeks from Mickey's Not So Scary at Disney where I plan to wear this thing... I will, unfortunately be going in Caspain's main outfit, as it is referred to, since I will not have time to finish my chainmail, or any more side $ to buy one.
Here are the pictures of the brigandine I have made for this costume. I am 80% complete, as I still have to attach the lower portions. Here are some shots of the harness though (and still unlined).
