different approach....

So I thought I'd make a pair of boots that were one piece... so from 2 pairs we get this so far.

 

Take a pair of size 7 (me) and 10 Blundstone chemical gumboots, mark out toe and shin armour plates

 

cut sole and armour pieces off size 10 boots

 

dremmel or cut out excess toe (inner) liner to line up with second sole, slide shin armour over size 7 boot and cut or trim to match Kashyyyk boots..., place on top of second sole from size 10 boots. you'll need to trim off excess rubber to make the sole flat..

 

cut grip off bottom of size 7 boots with super sharp thin blade knife...

 

put size 7 boot onto 10 sole and mark out with sharpie, cut out bridges of sole to desired look, still no glueing yet!!!! try and get a bit of angle to back of the sole bottom to get accurate shape...

 

check general lay out of your boot.... I think these are looking quite good so far. what do you guys think??

 

Where i'm headed with these next is using sikaflex flex biond on the soles, and moulding the edge with the sikaflex to get the side of the boot looking acurate, then sand and paint the sole.... the sikaflex will be used to shape the shins too. ten it'll be straps and camo....

Liking the idea with the toe cap and soles. Still not convinced abt the shins, but willing to be wowed. Watching w interest mate!!

Yeah fair call but I am still confident I can make them look pretty darn good.

 

Armour seems to be my major problem, can't seem to get any anywhere atm.... thank goodness i've got some TK gear to work on!!!
