My boots complete..

[hummern4]

Well completed my boots a couple of days ago but I need some advice on the "flap". When I glued it, it seemed to be the only way to cover the rivets and so on. I just wonder what you guys think about them? These wont go for lancer for my part, when I try for lancer I will cut the soles in a diffo way etc. but would they be acceptable for a scout? The flash makes the boot detail a bit weird.

Overall I'm happy with the result

Not a bad job overall. The "flap" or dogbone is shaped a little different (see below), but still should be fine.

Yeah that was my guess also. Saving that pic for next pair. thx

[hummern4]

Puh*... good news. I was able to slowly drag the flaps off without to much grease or any damage at the vinyl. So now I can perfect them as I want. I hate having little faults like that

Thanks again for the pic!

No problem! Here's a better shot:

 

[hummern4]

Better fit? I will shabe them in the middle maby 2 mm.

Also do you glue the whole flap or just the sides?

[Griffin-X]

Very nice! I chose to glue the whole dogbone down.

I would have angeled just a bit more down to cover the bottom of the laces.

[hummern4]

Yes I will try my best Lisa Its the position of the rivets that makes it a bit tricky to get it nice, but 0.5cm more should work!

what boot did you use as a base?

[hummern4]

these ones!

Hope its ok to link http://www.skopunkten.com/outlet/Modeller/Herr?art=263847

Nice! Would be better if I could read it Good job on the boots. I love seeing scouts helping future scouts.

[hummern4]

Hehe yes! I thought you guys might say that. The price is about 15 $. Only size 11. so I was lucky

[hummern4]

New version! sorry for the flashing making unwanted details to show up! hope you guys like these better!

[Griffin-X]

Great job, much better!

[hummern4]

Great job, much better!

 

Thank you for the help Jim !

I'm curious as to why these wouldn't be lancer approved? Or why you feel they wouldn't? Can anyone weigh in on this?

 

As far as I see, the only differences are the heel is more pronounced on the Sierras and the "teeth" in the front of the Sierras seem to be slightly set in pairs of two after the initial single tooth beginning on the side closest to the heel. There is no wiggle room for such differences? These differences seem very difficult to avoid without an accurate base boot to begin with. Any boot will have some degree to the heel and will already have teeth in place on the front of the boot. Giving one only so much to work with when it comes to carving out the pattern as seen on the movie boots.

 

I think you did a great job Andre! They really look good. But can anyone speak to the point of if these should be lancer good? I mean really only so much can be done without the original Sierras being available to everyone.
