First I want to give a thankful to Brian: Soldermaster, Angelo: Lonescout and Matt: Darthlindon by his warmful welcome here on BSnet.

 

Let me introduce my self, I use to make this items:

with the pics, many of you can remember me now.

 

Now, about our boots:

I am , gathering all possible help so far we have worked with CTnet(Galactic Marines), TDH and Mandomercs (Jango Fett), we are becoming to real the Kenneth Cole Pitt Crew.

 

3 TDH members send us his boots to California to take the casts (9uk, 9.5uk & 10uk by now)

1 CTnet member is making the soles casts in urethane RTV,

the molds will come to me in Ecuador to start the soles manufacturing, you can surf those forums for more info.

 

The boots will come in 3 colors: Black (Jangos), White (GM) and Tan (Kashyyyk), I will upload here to show the updates, the cast pics process will come may be tomorrow.

 

We need providing for a few days the original KC or Bed Stu boots to take the casts of the other UK numbers (8,11,12UK sizes)

 

Of course, this project can not go faster as I like, we have to do well every stage to reach sucessfull.

 

How many time will take?

Depends of sizes availability, may be the first run will be of 9uk, 9.5uk & 10uk

 

How much will cost each pair?

Its early yet to costs calcs, the soles factory asked me give the molds to calculate MOQ & costs

I hope will cost 125usd or less each finished pair (I hope less than 100 usd), as I said it is early yet to give prices

 

I think the succesfull will come with the TRIAD collaboration: Jango´s,GM´s and Kashyyyk´s.

 

Any comment is welcome

Hi Nathan, nice to hear of you here, thanks by your offer, is all ok, I need the soles cast not the body, I am going to research some UK brother armorer to take for me the cast, if you know one personally will be awesome, so your boots will not travel so much.

Giovanni,

 

This is great news! As these boots will be for my wife, who is roughly a size 7 in mens. I may also get a pair as I will need more costumes! Why not a Kashyyyk as number 3!?

 

Looking forward to your progress and update pics. Happy to have you here!

Welcome to the Boards CROW62. As one of the few members who is building a Kashyyyk Trooper (albit rather slowly) I would love to have a pair of the boots you will be making. I'll be looking forward to your updates.

Nathan, if you have previous experience in Sil RTV is very helpful, I am sending you a PM for more detailed instructions.

I think we can put a check mark on 13us size!!

I would DEFINATELY go for TWO pairs of the Kashyyyk US size 13.

(And probably two other pairs for my wife and daughter.)

 

Way to go Heatshock!! Yessssss!!!!

 

Don't rush it, Giovanni. Make them good!

 

SolderMaster - Kashyyyk would be a good choice for your next one!

THANK YOU goes out to the troopers who are helping Givanni make this happen.

 

Is there anything I can do to be able to get these in a US size 7 for my wife? I would need 10.5 - 11.

On list confirmed we have 9-9,5-10-13 US

 

You know more members than me, may be if you search on members female scout members and you PM her may you be lucky to find a Gal to be a volunteer on little sizes.

Heatshock AND ALL POSSIBLE VOLUNTEERS:

 

I will give FOR FREE a pair of my catalogue shoes to any volunteer who give us for few days to take casts.

 

Heatshock you can choose your pair of boots

Just to clear the mind, the pics that I uploaded are boots from members of this and other forums, and are or are going to be casted to make soles molds, are not actual production, are not for sale, the pics are used just like an update of this common effort of 3 sw forums.

I'd be looking at a size 9 Uk (size 10 US) pair... but might be a few months before I am in a position for them. Mind you that might work out well with the production schedule :)

 

Looks like it is going to be an outstanding product, very exciting!

I'm sure everybody understands what you are saying, Giovanni. We're just excited that this is going to happen, and people just want to let you know what size they wear.

 

I think what Giovanni is trying to say is that he will have the samples of soles in sizes 9, 9 1/2, 10, and 13 to make the molds for the shoes. That's all.

If anyone else has any of these shoes in other sizes so he can make casts of them, let him know.

This is not an actual order thread for these boots.

This is for the casting of the sizes that he will have from samples that other members have sent in.

 

When he is finished, I'm sure he will start an order thread. But remember, this sole is for the Jango Fett boots, Galactic Marines, and the Kashyyyk Trooper. So Kashyyyyk Troopers won't be the only ones placing an order.

Oops I misread this as an expression of interest, so Giovanni had an idea of #'s and sizes when production commenced at a later date... Thanks for clarifying that :)
