Re: My Dredd 2012 WIP (Boot build and Spacer Mesh Pics! 1/31)
THank you Munkey!
Bought the soles on ebay, had a cobbler glue them on because I don't have the right glue or clamps. But with some barge glue adn enough clamps it could be done at home, and them trimmed up.
If I can work out the boot parts and not eff it up I may do a run.

Went and got some sculpty, this stuff is cool and bakes to a rubbery consistency. if it bake the way I am hoping I may just make a set and not cast, I'm sorry gents but I don't know if I have the talent or skill at sculpting and casting to make a quality product.
Got the ribs upside down on the heel but I think I can dremel them into shape.
Here's the first run sculpty attempt, after baking I am going to sand and trim and see how they shape up.

And without any further adieu, here is my sculpt and cast of the boot to and heel, in reoflex 60 urethane, with green and black tints added in. I am sure there are some talented dude out there that could make this better but I am pretty psyched, I have enough that I may be making several sets to off set the cost of the mats. The urethane is flexible enough that it will conform well and all that will need to happen is a little trimming. More to come on that.

Nice. I like how that is coming along. The toe and heel caps look pretty spot on to me. I may have missed it but what did you paint the boots with?

looks nice
where did you get that metal part that you attached to the belt buckle?
the part that allows it to stay on the belt.

Pinksi v 2.0 bucket in work:
And my temp vest with Usurpers front and back plates in work till I have my KStruss rig. Turning out real well, spacer mesh front and back fabric, 1/4 closed cell foam sandwiched in, need to go get webbing and bias tape tomorrow.
