Burpo Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 It is starting to look like I will need to make my own 1/2 inch elastic. Nowhere has it in stock and no delivery via Amazon until around May? It's a good thing I have steady scissor hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 You might want to post a request in the trade portion of the forum. I imagine quite a few scouts have extra elastic lying around from their builds. http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/forum/155-trade-forum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even consider Hobby Lobby since they all closed down around here for the shelter in place. Ordered some, so hopefully it'll show up in a week or less.

Stroker Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Those soles will have to be painted if your going for Lancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be seeking paint advice after I get them carved out. I opted for an easy carve sole vs something already correct solid color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 It's nothing to paint them. Just make sure you sand the soles a little and use some alcohol to clean them then paint. I used a airbrush on my first pair. They came out great and I never had to touch the soles up. I've seen people use a brush as well and it looks just as good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Definitely going to be procrastinating the sole carving...Don’t procrastinate. It not as hard as you might think. I just carved mine two weeks ago. Piece of cake. Just make sure you have an x-acto with a chisel blade. I think I used a 3/8” blade.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burpo Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 I'll try throwing everything on dropbox here shortly. All the images show up in the thread when I look through, so I just assumed they showed up for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
