    I would suggest making the knee armor one peice.That is how I do my metal ones.It is just more durable that way.
    I never liked the idea of 3 seperate parts.

    Put a layer of bondo behind it. Super Glue works unimaginably well for Sintra, so if anything breaks, it can be fixed in as long as it takes to get the bottle of super glue out.
