The Breastplate Armor With a Cannonball Hole!

From Adam Savage’s Tested.

While visiting the specialty costume fabricators at FBFX, Adam is stopped in his tracks to find one of his favorite pieces of real historical armor: a French cuirass brestplate with a cannonball-sized hole! As it turns out, this is a recreation made by the FBFX team as a side project in between films, and Adam learns how artist Joe Knapper sculpted this striking replica.
