pmc with prosthesis(wip)

[joesilver]

so i decided to make this after seeing some episodes of "battleground brothers" from "national geographic". i have no idea that so many people still loose arms and legs in mine camps and a great percentage of them return to war theater with prosthesis.
about the custom...i´m happy with the result of the legs but the arm still needs some improvements. thoughts please!!

 

[Keenan]

Oh, I really like this.

 

[MMorelock66]

That's cool! Only custom I can ever remember seeing with prosthetics is the usual Major Bludd custom. But this I like!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Too cool!...scarf looks great also...

 

[Monkeywrench]

very cool!

Great concept. With body armor that only covers vital organs, a huge number of soldiers have lost limbs, and it's touching that you'd honor them in figure form.

On the lower legs, I'd think that even prosthetics would be covered by his pants. Are those Galactic Marine feet and a B.A.T.S. arm I spy?

Going for an all-soft-goods figure is a big, ass numbing job. The scarf does look great, but I'm not sure I dig the vest and ammo pouches. But that's really my personal preference, since I don't even like the soft stuff that comes with Star Wars figures. It's really difficult to pull off that all-soft look without spending a TON of time on it, and I applaud you for the effort. I've tried it myself, but the result was awful and I won't post it. Ever.

Obi-Shinobi's done a ton of soft work over the years, but my favorite is a 3-3/4" Snake Eyes he made few years ago with AMAZING canvas web gear, pouches, holsters, and even a sword sheath. My favorite pic is below, and here's a link to the whole gallery. It includes a couple pics of the 12" Sideshow SE for comparison.

My only other suggestion is for the head comms. Although it's not an exact replica of the gear troops currently use, I think the wraparound headset that comes with one of the SW Jango Fetts would be perfect. Can't remember which figs come with it though. Anyway, good work, and keep at it!

Found the Jango headgear. It comes with the Fett Legacy 3-pack from 2008.

thanks guys.

CreeBoPeep thanks for the suggestions.let me see if i can explain you some options without grammatical errors. the legs are made from this:
Knees - ROC diver with Steel brigade kneepads
prosthesis - gun barrel from marauders accessory and feet from ret.roadblock!!!

i could not cover the prosthesis with pants because that way you wouldn't notice them.
the vest is rigid- is from renegades duke but modded.
the pouches are indeed micro canvas but i use flat black and that´s why stripes on them don´t "shine". Obi is one my favorites customizers and it´s where(and Rick) i get my inspiration to start using this type of material.
the headset is also micro canvas with one mick. i use micro canvas because the rigid ones are too big in my opinion.but many thanks for the commentary and the jango option. best regards

 

[Rick]

Great idea. Been wanting to do one. Maybe with this inspiration

 

[joesilver]

just wondering if any of you have suggestions(materialto use) to make leg prosthesis similar to the ones of Pistorius. i will make 3 more customs like these and want to make one with that kind of prosthesis. suggestions are welcome. best regards
