Those look great.  Definitely meet the criteria of "Alpinestar-styled motorcycle sport/racing boots"!

This is the exact boot, but the ones you have are very similar and would look almost exactly the same once the shin was in place.

Those should work. Just get some shoe/leather paint and you'll be set. I used the stuff below and it took a couple of bottle and something like 5 coats to cover everything sufficiently. You'll also need at least 2 coats of the clear gloss afterwards.

Will one 4 oz bottle do or do I need more then that?

That should work. I think we went through almost 3 - 1oz. bottles of white and 1 - 1oz. of the gloss.

So I have decided to step away from this project. I will be selling the armor and gaskets so I can make a Shoretrooper Specialist. The Empire is WAY better anyways. So I will still be around asking questions 

[BikerScout007]

Ah you make me sad!  

Okay @JollyRajR -- you're our only hope!

[Pyro]

You know what screw it I can just do both! I have way to much of it not to finish it.

Ok since I have a 3D printer now I figured I should print myself a new helmet, I don’t like the way my current one looks. So does anyone know where I can find accurate TLJ helmet files? 

[gmrhodes13]

Can't say I've seen any really decent files, nothing that has been approved, but that's not saying they aren't out there. Most have either been using the Anovos or converting Black Series helmet. Denuo Novo helmets are apparently shipping or close to.

Just watch out for the obvious differences, clip size/detail, recess area, taller nose/pointier and 7 teeth.

I use the propstore images for reference when comparing https://propstoreauction.com/lot-details/index/catalog/138/lot/28672

Just a quick search and this popped up, doesn't look too bad at a quick glance https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/art/other/star-wars-the-last-jedi-tlj-storm-trooper-ep8-helmet

Here's one a few have been printing on FISD https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/art/other/star-wars-tlj-storm-trooperhelmet-chest-shoulder-armour-ep8 but most that have printed the armor have converted Black Series helmets

Sanotised Creations has one on their Etsy store. https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1034639313/


I know his clone stuff is good, no idea about this though, I leave that to the experts

Went ahead and picked up this helmet file, hopefully it turns out ok.

This maker also has the files for the full armor which some have printed over at FISD, personally helmet looks ok, nice clip sizes and recess.

So I might be swithcing this to the CGI version as I really dont like the motorcycle boots. They will be very uncomfy to troop around in.

Alright that's a lot taller of an order since there are some significant differences between that one and the real life one.  Happy to help you along, but it is almost a different CRL.  If that's how you want to go, we can proceed!

[Pyro]

Ok I am picking this back up! I am willing to do either version of this kit.
