It Does make me wonder if you could adapt the same concept to splinted vambraces? ???

Something like an articualting plate bracer, lames and elbows attached to a splinted rebrace would be about the closest, or seperate splinted braced, seperate 5 lame elbows and rebace would be about the closest you could get I think.

Yes this part is what I was visualizing as the only viable design. Sounds like it would be a first and that only has its own compelling appeal. ;)
