Conall, thanks man.  Our fellow forum member, Allan Senefelder made them for me...and a matching set of greaves too, but I broke a strap out in the parking lot so I never got to wear them.  I've had both his plate vambraces/greaves and the splinted variety and I gotta say...the splinted variety is a good bit heavier.  More steel as it wraps all the way around and is adjustable for a wide array of leg sizes.  The plate ones I liked as they were very durable, just too plain for me at the time.

Of course, NOW I wish I hadn't sold them as I want them for another kit I'm putting together.  Ah well...that's part of the fun, assembling the kit!

Anyway, check out www.merctailor.com when you get a minute, LOT of great stuff on there.  His prices are the best, at least for arms, legs and shoulders (I got a pair of cops from him, then opted for a set of spaulders which you see me wearing as well) from what I've seen around, not to mention, he's real easy to talk to and his work is exemplary.
