Lamellar Armor Plates Pre-Drilled, 20 Gauge DIY Lacing Plates for Historical Armor Crafting

Description

Step into the forge of ancient warriors and construct your own legendary armor with this set of pre-drilled Lamellar Armor Plates, designed for historical authenticity, durability, and creative versatility. Whether you’re building a full lamellar cuirass, customizing vambraces, or crafting decorative war skirts, these Lamellar Armor Plates are ready for lacing and layering right out of the package.

Each plate is precision-cut to approximately 7 x 2.2 cm, made from 20-gauge metal with 4mm holes, giving you the freedom to use leather thongs, rawhide strips, or paracord depending on your build. The gentle curvature of each plate allows comfortable contouring around your limbs or torso.

Choose the finish that suits your character, faction, or build goals—whether that’s the corrosion-proof practicality of stainless steel, the dark drama of oil-blackened plates, the raw realism of natural mild steel, or the eye-catching elegance of brass.

Stainless Steel (Rust-Free Reliability)

• Fully rust-resistant – no oiling or polishing required

Oil-Blackened Mild Steel (Battle-Hardened Look)

Polished Brass (Noble & Ceremonial)
