I can do this for you:

I don't have a pattern for the rerebrace (upper arm) or cuisse (upper leg) because they're easy and I just eyeballed them, and I don't have a pattern for the knee cop because I just extended the elbow cop pattern an inch in every dimension and made the pie cutout 2 inches wide. The only other odd, non-obvious thing I did was when I was attaching the four lames and the cop together (the five pieces that make up an elbow or a knee) I added a #10 galvanized washer between the two pieces of leather, and then another below the copper burr, then didn't ram the burr down all the way before I peened it over. This left the leather more able to articulate the way is should. Once they break it, thy flop around just like steel would at the articulations.
