I've seen a bunch of good shnees made using the Legacy templates for the leg and knee armor, then attach everything together with pop rivets or something similar.

Of course, you have to be okay with the banded, Legacy style for at least some of your armor for that to work.

You could always extend the WoF shin armor templates to come up to knee height. It worked for mine. :P

They are really easy to make.  I just took a piece of cardstock and just trimmed it to how i liked it.  Then cut it out of sintra.

Half the fun of building a custom Mando is designing your own parts where there isn't necessarily a clear right way of doing things.  In other words, get creative, or do independent shins and knees.  Separate pieces look better anyway, more often than not.

You could always look to history for ideas. For example, I modeled my shinkees off of greek hoplite greaves (which have integrated knee armor)

Armor does not make a Mandalorian. The armor is simply a manifestation of an impenetrable, unassailable heart.
