Hello Giannis K. Hoplite,
Great eye! I learned now that the arm guard is in fact leg guard,hmm..It was suspicious from the start..I will see what to do with it...
My first choice would be to leave arm without any guard,at least for classical hoplite, but there is some barbarian style bracelet or guard on his wrist.
I don't have any picture of lower arm guard!
Polishing effect---I did the best polishing effect I could,I know it is not the best one.Folowing are the perfect examples of "what it should be" texture:

PSarticular helmet and greave I can not seem to find,but I think helmet is not whole part but combination of actual and bronze miniature...I'll see to that.

I would only like to ask one of those who now shamelessly praise themselves:
Would he, if he had my plane and I his, take off to fight,as I did,as we all did?
And we all know the answer....
