Ave!
What they said! Also, definitely metal for the greaves, and skip the vambraces completely, please!
We tend to be very reenactor-oriented here, so our advice is generally aimed at a historically accurate impression. If you don't plan to use your kit for reenacting or living history, you have a lot more leeway, of course, and you don't HAVE to make us happy! Just be aware that questions about stainless steel or aluminum make some of us gag, even if we know your goals already. And we also might not be able to help as well, since we only know where to get the *right* stuff!
Good luck and Vale,
Matthew
