Heraldic cote: update

[alysten]

The armor cote is progressing nicely.  The gussets are in and the quartered panels have been joined. This is a complicated garment even for me.  I have gotten seriously lucky with the diagonals.  It looks like I "planned" for them to play nicely, but it was a fluke. I never get diagonals to line up that nicely.  All that is remaining is the join with the lining, buttons and the trim/crenelations. Roughly 3-4 hours more work.  The hard part is done, rest is easy (easy being relative and dependent on a lot of external factors) . So far so good.  Hope HRH enjoys fencing in it.  If you miss him on the field, it will not be because you could not find his armor.
