My bloodied armor

Where in Philly are you? I'm actually right outside the NE in Bensalem.

you know where fox chase is?
that area, jenkintown is close by, and willow grove

 

[RevolverOcelot]

Maybe a bloody hand on your chest plate or shoulder? Like as if one of your patients reached out during his final moments.

But would a medic really wear a soldier's armour?

 

[TantiveIV]

they do in real life, why shouldnt they in star wars...none the less a mandalorian?

 

[NovallTalon]

Have to agree with TantivIV on this. Being a veteran myself, an IDC (Indipendent Duty Corpsman) fills out in full battle dress and armor when they accompany a Marine platoon. The Medic is the last man you want taking a bullet, he brings your *** home...dented maybe...but home.

Also, don't think Medic's done fight or have a problem shooting the gun. When it hits the fan, they are in the thick like the other guys. Our Doc on the sub was an IDC who had previously been with a platoon in the sand during the beginning of Desert Storm, so he had some stories to tell.

 

[TantiveIV]

exactly, if anything, you might want the medic wearing more armor than most
throughout history the medic has always worn the same armor has every other soldier in their platoon/squad/flight, whatever you wanna call it

Categorically yes

No, they are already hindered by the additional amount of equipment, as a former army medic I always made my guys carry their own fluids, and bandages, If I needed to treat them I used those first then the supplies I was carrying. A medic in a spec-ops unit is a trigger man first, just like every other guy there, and a medic second. When bullets are flying (or blaster fire) everyone is infantry first.

On the topic of bloodied helmets, maybe instead of handprints or other obvious cliques, put the red paint on your hands/disposable gloves and take off the helmet and put it on as one would find themselves doing in RL. Make the blood incidental blood from that action of helmet removal and replacement. Just a thought.

Yeah, you're like 25 minutes away or so. I'm right by the franklin Mills Mall. I'll shoot you a pm.

thats actually a really really good idea, putting wet paint on gloves and then immediately take the helmet off with the wet paint

 

[eighteendelta]

I work in Reading, only an hour or hour and a half from Philly. I pass through Philly pretty often.

[TantiveIV]

we should get all the "around philly" peeps from TDH for a get together

 

[Zurath Kodul]

I'm liking this... very creative.

I would suggest one thing, though: the traditional red medic's cross. Of course, it's entirely up to you.

 

[TantiveIV]

yeah, that was an idea that was tossed around, another is the 6 sided symbol with the snake and staff inside it...but mixing it together with a mando symbol

 

[eighteendelta]

On the topic of symbols I would hate to say, I really think it would be a bad idea and mix too much of our world into the SW world. Medics don't wear identifying symbols because the team he works with already knows who the medic is and enemy soldiers target them. Mandos should be a tight group that already know who their medic is, they aren't operating in clone units of 100's or 1,000's. If you are going to use a medic symbol, make up your own and create a history/background for it instead of importing too much or our history/mythology/religious symbolism. Just my thoughts again.

[TantiveIV]

yeah, i was looking through wookiepedia, there are a couple of symbols associated with medicine that i like

 

[TantiveIV]

i repainted my rubies real quick with the same yellow as the armor just to see what it all looked like together

here you go
the helmet is not my final project...still waiting on a new one

thanks for looking!
what do you think

yes i know the tubing from the gauntlets isnt connected to anything, i havent figured out how im gonna do that yet

 

[NovallTalon]

Pimpin that mando! =D

 

[citizenjohn]

Looks great

 

[Zurath Kodul]

It's coming along wonderfully, my friend.
For the hoses, cut a small hole in the sleeve of your suit and insert them into it, kinda like they're going direct to your skin giving a bacta injection.
