I would build these legs in the following order:
- cut out the plates
- punch any holes which are on the patterns
- finish the plate edges and corners
- Roll the top edge of the cuisse and upper cuisse plates.
Roll the top and bottom edge of the two wrap plates.
- Dish knee cop and shape the wing on the knee cop. Shape
the other plates.
- Add a crease down the center of the legs.
- Fine tune the articulation
- Polish the plates
- Assemble the legs
- Add the straps
