These spartan arm guards were made by Tucker B. and my thanks go out to him for submitting the pictures. He used the template from my project and tutorial on how to make them and he did some nice upgrading and modifying to make them better. The leather straps to keep them closed looks great. They came out great. So, if you are unsure whether or not you can make them I say go right ahead and give it a try! He also made the spartan helmet complete with the Bristles on top. You can see those pictures here: Tucker's Leonidas Helmet
