So much el wire! Looks awesome though! The only part that looks a little iffy to me is the lower back part. Kind of makes an "S"

hehe, i did that on purpose! It wasn't following the pattern anyway, so i made it curvy. The spine piece thing is a wip still. I arched my back in that pic so it fell into my cod haha

If you don't mind me asking, how many foam sheets did it take to build the chest?
