Description Think its about done

An arm fit for a king, This prosthetic model was made for the 501st royal engineer corps. It contains a lot of the tools any modern field engineer would need.

Ok, back to reality!

This was a tough one to pull together, but it works, and is much much more comfortable compared to the previous prosthetic arm i built. The arm is completely made out of leather plates, which were engraved and painted. The lines left by the engraving process are filled up with gold paint.

other parts include the wrenches, brass nuts and bolts, copper rivets, straps, buckles, etc. etc.

Props go to Ian Finchfield, AKA Skinz-n-Hydez for the inspiration to make a full leather prosthetic arm.

Now to build the foldable mortar i want to attach to the back xD

thanks to a waterproof coating (the kind in a spraycan), it should stay the same.

notice the "should" instead of "will", havent really tested that yet xD
