Okay. Here is what "I Think" is the correct template for my leg. I have cut a posterboard template and transferred it to aluminum foil to test fit it to the cast. The following pictures document all four sides of the leg. Note that the aluminum foil pulls away from the leg when I let go so it isn't holding tight in the back. When held, it comes to about a 1" to a 1 1/4" gap down the back of the leg.

I am looking for feedback on coverage, shape, and general look to the greave. The next step is to cut it out so I want any critical/constructive feedback now on its look. I will try my hardest to get the bronze to look just like this.
