Sure!

I'd say thats most of how I do it but there is more blood and sweat cleaning up the models and editing them to match other meshes. The real trick is scale and referencing the same images for your whole game equipment parts so its more seamless. Its also best to get models that are very hollow on the inside.
Here is an example of a few older sets i made using just prompts and ill post one of gauntlets i made using this current method.
