Any update on the backplate? Did you go with just the cape for the con or did you get the back plate sorted?
I am still working out the details on the backplate. looking for some D rings to be able to easily attach and detach the backplate on top since I will have a cauldron to hid the clips. For the Con I went with a robe style cape. (pictures below)
Soooooooo... almost done yet? 
looking great so far Vod
I feel like I'm getting close then I list off the things I still need to do and it seems like I'll never finish!! Thanks Vod!
SO!! I did manage to get my kit to a wearable state before Con on saturday and had a blast! I was in kit for a gruelling 10 hrs! And I learned a few things from my first outing in kit: 1) my neck seal rubs like crazy! I have a nice rash on my neck and chin so I will be getting myself a balaclava to hopefully counteract that. 2) my knee plates slide down relentlessly! Im thinking that once I have my shin plates attached it will help them not slide down so far but at the moment I'm stumped for how to stop it. 3) BEING IN KIT IS AWESOME! 4) my temporary gauntlets rub on my wrists quite badly and the front opening is too small to fit my hand through once i have gloves on so I have to put them on first then tuck my gloves into them, which isn't the worst but still a little annoying. 5) my gloves may be a bit small, there were numerous times they came untucked and exposed my skin so i will be looking for better gloves. AND FINALLY 6) BEING IN KIT IS AWESOME!
I was even able to enter the Beginners Craftsmen Category of the Cosplay Competition and to my surprise win First in my category! A very successful weekend to say the least and without further adieu here are the pictures!
