I really doubt most of the people commenting on this picture can create something like this. First, steampunk is not necessarily supposed to be functional. It's a style choice -- and it's not like steampunks wear it everywhere they go. It's a convention/photoshoot/club thing. Whether it's 14 pounds or not, it's not a big deal. I've seen some pretty built steampunks; I think they could handle it. ;)
It saddens me that the internet has become a canvas for cowardly critics hiding behind anonymity. In real life, you'd probably admire it. Also, to the person who posted this, you could have chosen a better shot, which SkinzNHydez DOES provide. This shot was simply to display the product at the straight-forward angle.
I recommend you all check out the leg when it's combined with other steampunk attire: http://Skinz-N-Hydez.deviantart.com/art/Steampunk-Photoshoot2-159779693
