Thanx for the link,
in terms of medical reenactment when i do napoleonic reenactment i devised a sfx system that enabled me to remove a musket ball/foreign object in front of the public and using pig hide we are able to sew patients up etc with ww1 and ww2 you can do the same by simply subsituting the ball for a used bullet head etc and this way some of my period medical equipment can get used and not just look pretty we also have casualties both allies and even some prisoners under escort are brought in and we have had german medics trying to help our wounded {my mate does a great medic that speaks no english and has to try to get his message across on what he needs whilst taking understandable abuse from allied wounded who don't want him near them!! }arrive that need assessing/checking recording etc so that the mops can see the way casualties are processed in some reenactment displays i know of people using prothetics to carry out full amputations! it looks great and the MOPS love it! so if you can find the time to scrpt these things fit equipment etc you can have a great time and with screaming and distressed patients its organised chaos and the public don't forget it in a hurry either it can be very real for them and gets alot of respect for the vets and what they went through. especially as we end up holding up a handful of dogtags and turn to the mops and say to them "THIS WAS THE REAL REALITY OF YOUR FANTASY TIME TRIP WITH THESE REENACTORS LETS NEVER FORGET THANK YOU FOR WATCHING" that always gives them food for thought hope that helps, do you think thats too strong?
