Sitting at home with a busted back...what else can I do but cut, fold and glue in a comfy chair? I think I'll be needing a real suit to assist my ageing body!

Here's the last couple of day's work from the chair while my back heals. This project is GREAT for incapacitation and boredom!

1. Some people use a pen to score the fold lines, others use a pizza-cutter style wheel (miniature). I use the edge of an engineers steel ruler. It is sharp and straight. Hold the piece up to a light source so you can see the ruler behind the fold-line and run your thumb up the fold. Presto! Precise, sharp fold.

2. Chest and back-brace - front. This goes under the chest and back armour to provide support and lock the pieces together.

3. Back view

4. Collar plates: I ran out of 200gsm card-stock but I figured these are so simple and small, that they could support themselves as normal A4 printing paper until they are resined.
