The breastplate is constructed from three major pieces: two paper-mache 'cups' that I made over blown up ballons and the cardboard centerpiece. The material I used to sculpt the breastplate is called Gapoxio. It comes in two parts, A & B, that you mix together and then it hardens in about in hour. Its an epoxy based clay. You can also use Apoxie Sculpt, which works just as well and will achieve the same affect. I molded it straight onto a dried paper mache' mold of the breastplate. You can sand it and drill holes through it and it wont crack. For the breastplate I had to drill holes in the tops and sides to hook on straps to connect to the back piece and shoulder pads, and it was just fantastic how easy it was to do.
