Here is another wonderful miniature made by Kaz. It is a miniature cuirass. And wow it came out terrific! Kaz has also made a fantastic miniature Sword (Xiphos). You can check out that project here. And he has made the miniature helmet. That tutorial is here.

He tells us a little bit about how he made this:

The hardest part for this I found was just trying to create the template for the cuirass with the right measurements, so there was a lot of guesswork involved, and once that's completed it was pretty straight forward from there. The basic shape was achieved just by using pliers/tongs to bend the metal. To create musculature of the piece I used a small ball pien hammer to dish out the chest and then used a tack hammer to create the lines of the chest using against the edge of my anvil. I used the same technique on the backplate to create a crease down the spine. The outline of the abdomen was created using a flathead screwdriver. After all that it took quite a lot of time to correctly match up the breast plate to the back plate again.

Here is a picture of the completed cuirass with hinges and the other gear to go with it!
