Darth Adame Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hi everyone, I want to build a Scout trooper for me but I´ve noticed that one of the biggest troubles people have while making this character are the boots!!!... So I wanted to ask you all, which boots from whom do you recommend to buy that fit not only the basic requirements, but also work for the next levels (2 & 3) thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wookieevader Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 You could probably make them yourself. I personally have not started mine I'm still looking for my boots to make my own with the tutorial to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Most people make their own boots. Look at the tutorial here, it's very easy to follow. Base boots cost $20+ depending on what you get. I bought Brahma Boots from Walmart $29 & a yard of white vinyl another $20. E6000 $4 & box of pins $2. So i have $55 in my boots & a couple days work. Just go find a comfortable pair of tan work boots. NOT military type, they have the wrong sole. Doesn't matter if the sole is 2 tone, that can be painted with acrylic hobby paint($1). Everyone is dead set on finding single color soles, but they are very hard to find. So painting is a quicker fix. After you find a boot you like touch the sole with your thumb. Does it give? If yes this is a good boot as it will be easy to cut. My wife's base boot came with a single color sole but its too hard to cut so she'll never make Lancer with is ok with her. Nothing major & its resl easy. Read & follow the directions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stasz Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 These boots are cheap, light, and the sole carving was easy peasy! http://m.kmart.com/texas-steer-men-s-kmax2-5inch-wheat-work-boot/p-035VA74213912P?sid=KDx01192011x000001&kpid=035W007979503001&kispla=035VA74213912P Solid color soles too! Using the tutorial, I ended up with this: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
