I did both. The knee is dished, but the calves are mostly formed by raising the metal. I have the majority of planishing and heavy sanding done on the right greave and plan to finish them both by Sunday evening. The right still has some tooling marks that I cannot seem to get out or get the angles I need to planish them well, but I can live with that. I would rather have a few marks than weaken the metal by sanding them much more.
Here is a pic of the cuirass. This was taken before it was completed though. I'll get some pics of the entire set in a week or so and post them. I am considering shortening the pteryges on my subarmor although I may leave them as is instead of risking ripping the material to shreds.
