Looking good. I can't tell in the pics, but I would add the stitching on the dog bones if they aren't there already. Nice work!

Not bad at all bro, the dog bones look a touch wide over the bridge. And cant see any trim stitches as Terry has has said, if youve forgotten your going to have a hell of a job tring to get those trims off again.

The only other thing is you holster is too close to the dog bone trim, basically when you kneel down the holster is going to dig in badly and pull the boots apart. I usually say try and get a gap of around 30mm and that should eliminate that issue.

But as far as I can see you have stretched the fabrib well prior to gluiong which is often overlooked, all in all a super job

Thanks for the feedback guys, I overlooked teh dog bones trimming. I swear i read somewhere that it wasn't necessary (optional) for a more profressional look. I've seen the boots with and without them. But I want to get everything correct, I have ton of vinyl left so I will see about creating new dog bones. Hopefully getting it off wont be too bad! eeeek

Ive never heard of the dog bone sticthing being optional, heel cuts are optional. I guess if your GML is happy without the stitching then ultimately what he says goes for you. I personally would do it though mate

I found where I saw it. Straight from the Boot Tutorial on this site: "This is strictly for show and isn't necessary, but the boots they used in the movie were stitched like this and it just plain looks better."

 

I did a squat / kneel test with the boots and the holster didnt dig in too bad. I plan on redoing the dog bone with the stitches. Thanks for your advice Marcel!
