Body Armor Idea

This is the same concept that goes into lamellar using modern materials that are readily available. Not sure how well it would stand up to bullets. But I would imagine it would be effective against blades and blunt objects.

Did you accomplish This?

This didn't pan out unfortunately. The plates are far too malleable and the staple cut outs don't hold up well against abuse without curling the tips down and inward, which makes it a lot more labor intensive. It's also not very scalable. There isn't really an option for smaller or larger plate depending on what area of the body they cover. The plates also need a lot of filing as the edges are sharp. All around it's a fail brigandine.
I have been experimenting more recently with roped/corded. Basically like a gambeson that uses columned pattern as apposed to checkered. But instead of batting it just uses cuts of rope/cord. This has a lot more promise as enough cloth, rope and thread can be sourced cheaply. It's also scalable because one can simply use different gauges of rope. But it's far more labor intensive. It also is weak on the seams. So I have to figure something out for that.
