After much delay, procrastination and generally trying to pluck up the courage to start, I have decided to get a move on. A word of advice before you all delve into the pictures hoping to see something masterful, I am a rank amateur, and much of what I do is on the hoof, of 'make-do.'
I decided to start from the ground, up. Also, very little of this build will be 100% screen / comic accurate.
Boots...
I bought a pair of old biker boots off flea-bay
Stuck some modelling clay on the toes, and eventually got an approximation of the toe-caps. Rather than do one, and hope to pull 2 casts off it, I went for 2 individual caps. I see that one doesn't mirror the other, but if someone is going to kneel down and check them out on Halloween night, then more power to them.
Knee / Elbow pads...
I had an old set of carpet fitter's knee-pads from which I removed the plastic 'pad.' I used this as the template / armature onto which I added more clay, which I shaped into what you see below.
Over all, a couple of hours work.
Next up, will be sanding and tidying up the clay with a view towards making silicone casts for the costume.
Any tips or pointers will be gratefully received.
