VFX limb removals – need good examples

Hi all.
Im helping on a pitch where we need to have an actor lose a leg, and spend quite a lot of the show with the lower half of his leg missing. I know most of this will just be paint-out shots, but it would be good to see examples of how other vfx companies have tackled this.
This is a good example:

I vaguely recall seeing a behind the scenes for a war film where and actor lost his lower leg and they did things like cut holes in the side of a boat that he had to swing his leg stump over, allowing the supposedly missing part of his real leg to move freely through the gap, then painted the boat back in. Its those mind of subtle considerations that will allow the best acting performance that Im trying to
find.

Thanks
