My good friend came over and did his paint and airbrush magic to these 3D printed resin boot rockets I got from Kevin Gossett. Had many problems with the rockets but not the fault of the seller just the 3D printing de-lamination problems and such. Seller is awesome to have gone out of his way to help me 3D print 2 pairs of boot rockets for my son and I. Fixed with C clamp and Loctite Professional Super Glue. The paint and airbrush turned this turd to a thing of beauty after. Love the heated metal effect using 3 acrylic paint colors: blue, purple and bronze. Lots of dry brushing and intense weathering added to cover my build mistakes 
I had to notch the sides of the rockets bottom with a Dremel cutting wheel to fit the cut RC control metal rods for added detail. I used JB Weld to fill in the poor notching errors and such. Currently test fitted to the leather boot spats purchased from user DannyLopuz here matched to the Skechers Diameter Garzo loafer shoes. Accurate and good enough for now. I will be using 1" width 3D Dual Lock Clear recloseable fasteners with VHB Very High Bond backing to mount the boot rockets and to mount the front boot spat to the shoe to prevent side movement when at the conventions. FYI will be building another set/version using the high resolution 3D boot rocket print set from joatrash. That set i am going all out with lights and sound controlled from the thigh rocket controller acting as the switch. Those rockets will be riveted permanently to the boot spats. More works to come.
