Finally started on my Gene Simmons boots....

Oh and the fridge is 5' 5" high

You need to cut those front scales off, bro! Give yourself some moving room. Yes, Gene's are cut out, too.

1" by the way on the studs.

Beautifu! I thought they were 1".

I saw the scales cut a few different ways on Gene's, but My mobility isn't nearly as bad as I thought.

They seem to add support too.

Looks good!!!

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this sober and Halloween thing.

Cause If I drink, I am snapping an ankle!

Here is another shot:

At least you are more in proportion with your boots. At Dragon*Con there was a guy dressed as Gene Simmons in those same boots. Even with the boots, he was barely five foot tall.

They make me 6'7" I figure with the hair 6'10"!

Not to mention that's the way of the Simmons. So it's canon.

Yeah Scott, How long ago did you do them!?

I finally am getting around to it.

You got the boots, but what are you going to do about the tongue?

It's been quite a while. I haven't had access to the molds in over a year. Now so many people make them they're easily available.

I am going to fold mine in half, so it is the same size as his.

I had to do the same thing last year with a different body part when I dressed up as Tommy Lee!

Dude, I am lovin' those boots! I've wanted a pair of them sense '76! I even wrote a fan letter listing my shoe size and mailing address... I'm STILL waiting on them to come in.

Can't wait to see the whole outfit put together!

-B89!

You can get the boots here for $189

http://kissmuseum.net/cart/catalog/Costumes-83-1.html

You can also get them for the same price on ebay with free shipping usually.

Great base shoe for the price. I was going to make them out of wood, because the closest replicas I could find were $800+.

Pat

So, you did indeed roll with the replica boot from kissmuseum?

Yep!

The heel is a lot wider than they show on their site. After some cuts I was able to get it to fit.

Pat

any word from your seamstress on the scales yet?

None! A little nervous cause it is getting close. She said she had problems with the thickness of the vinyl, but it is sorted now. She promises me a before halloween delivery.

I will of course let you all know!

Pat

Oh and a heads up. Wal Mart has Gene Simmons wigs for $5. If you can't find one let me know and I can hit mine!
