"Cheater" Bracers - Take 2

 I previously posted an experiment in "cheater" armor. I made a splinted bracer using cardboard, velcro straps, and paper fasteners.

Poking around the internet, I found a better construction technique. I decided to try it out. Here is the result.

This time, I put the straps on the outside. It makes it easier to strap it tight to the arm.

Another change is that I did not cut out individual splints. Instead, I cut out a single piece of cardboard then scored lines on the back. I was then able to fold the cardboard to shape.

Here it is on my arm. I have it strapped on the inside so that I could take the picture.

This was a very simple way to make a splinted piece of armor. I want to try it with greaves.
