10.00 .... thats awesome Tracy, good score. I just got shipping confirmation from shoebuy.com ToDay?! Im used to online sales going a lot faster than that :-( oh well. I did stop and grab the marine vinyl for the boots- so theres some progress there. So far we just have the gloves and racing suit.... watching our mail for the rest of the parts.... Id be biting my nails if I wasnt working on a kids RC and trying to finish up my own clone! LOL Ill post up here as soon as those boots come in... they shipped DHL (which I tought was just for freight and big stuff). Mike

You're absolutely right about the color being a bit too white. We'll see what they look like in real life when they show up. Some repro boots look darker than the SA and some look lighter. Ill have at them with Mr Airbrush though and maybe some mixed T-shirt paint. That'll take care of em. Thanks for the heads-up! Mike

Nothing's "wrong" with them LOL, its just that there are lots of grooves in the sole, and with the spacing, it looks like it might be hard to cut in the screen accurate grooves (three wide and 3 narrow). Mike (edit) Bought boots from Shoebuy.com .... too bad i couldnt source boots locally, and I paid a lot more than I wanted to :-( Oh well, its done and they're in the mail. Still feels good.

Thanks for the link Diana -I think that pair would be more difficult than some of the guys boots to modify for accuracy- but Im going to try some more 'womens work boot' searches and see what comes up. Thanks for the advice- we may just have to order something online. Mike (edit) Found these.... I think these are moddable: http://www.shoebuy.com/adtec-2983-work-boots-6/406933/866585

Hey Gang, Im looking for a base boot for my wifes scout. I never in a million years would have thought this would be the hard part. So far Ive been to Wal Mart Candian Tire Naturalizer Zellers Payless The Shoe Co. A few thrift stores and some mom and pop local places and I just cant source a good boot in womans 6.5-7. Does anyone have an online source for a small womans boot? Thanks for any help guys! Heres a pic from our troop today- My youngest son is the clone thats holding the giant scout up LOL! Mike
