The boots we identified WERE Nike SFBs. As stated, they were probably stunt boots and this new find are the hero boots.

Yea, That's what I said in the research thread too is that the stunt boots are the SFBs. I just happen to be looking through pics and saw the 5.11 on his heel. It seems like they went with a lot of 5.11 gear for this costume which is really cool

Well crap. I JUST ordered the Condor drop leg panel not even noticing how the clip was on both sides of the leg panel. Ah well.

So for anyone that has been looking into drop leg panels for the gun holsters, as I mentioned earlier, I had ordered the Condor brand drop leg panels. DO NOT buy these. They are a great quality and constructed very well, HOWEVER, the leg straps are huge. They would require serious modification and sewing in order to get them to fit a normal persons leg.

I don't know if this would be useful to you or not, but I saw this on ebay and thought that the shoulder pads were very similar. Obviously it would have to be modded to suit the suit (hehe).

Nice find. I'm planning on going with EVA foam though for more maneuverability and a better custom fit.

Right on. I've seen some videos on molding it, but that's still beyond my skill level.

Those are close but not the right ones. His boots have "caps" on the toes.. unless everyone already knew that...then ignore me

I think his boots might be a modified version of the non-waterproof skyweight boot. The waterproof boots have a bit more sheen.

I don't know what you mean by "caps" on the toe but if you look at this picture.
It's clear they are the same boot. I think you're seeing the cuts on the toe of the shoe and thinking its some plate or something? I'm not sure. But these are definitely the correct boot.
jadedphool as far as the shiny goes they probably just dulled them up and made them look weathered like the rest of the suit. I highly doubt these boots come from 5.11
pre-polished. When I have the money to drop on these 200 dollar boots I'll share pictures of what they actually look like,

I don't know if you know about this, but you can dull it with nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. The boot will be dull but the leather will need a leather conditioner afterwards. I used to be in the military, and back when we wore the black combat boots they came with a factory shine. The lighting in the picture just emphasizes it in the amazon picture. But they do come with a bit of shine already.

Let me know if this is off topic, but has anyone figured out a good way of recreating the white eye look? I know there's some images with mo-cap markers for the really expressive, dynamic stuff, but this photo shows that there's at least one version of the mask that has built-in lens:
Far as I can tell it's not mesh either, so unless that kid is blind while wearing it there must be something else going on

So the research that I've done has lead me to try a clear plastic plus this stuff called "expanded vinyl" It's the stuff they put on the widows of buses that you can see out of but not into. I figured I'd try some white of that if I can figure out where to get my hands on it. If that ends up not working I'll do more searching and let you all know what I find. Still waiting on Black Kaos for my number to be called to buy his face shield. Once I get that I intend to work the mask ASAP
