The Mags glued is the "Stressed for testing" version for and glued all parts.Never had problems with my parts glued, even skating with them.
The final version needs to be wired before glue.im using at now a mix of differents compounds beacuse the glues actually in the market SUCK.I made a lot of test and dont stop until I have a solid/durable cohesion.Believe me that is not good idea to go outside at the street and have a problem with glued pieces...so embarrasing.:lol
About the backheel piece(I call white part),I think that all forum users be happy with that notice:
Im preparing a LOW COST piece,avoiding expensive molds. 100% ACCURATE, with all details inside and outside(for wiring, inverter, and NEW storage for AAA cell batteries rechargeables(that bateries is more cheaper), and hole for charger adapter.The material that would be finally is Teflon compound, supports highly abbrassion tests, dissolvants, and high temperatures, its a semirigid material.
The pedestal is with the same technique and CHEAPER, and would be available without painting, for customizing.Renderings and images soon.

This is my concept for Mags Pedestal.The color is "old aluminium delorean" Including blue lights near the Mags sole position and BTTF logo, CGI renders soon....that is only an early concept of the design
what do you think guys?
Wow, excellent work!!

This sounds interesting. Any time frame?
I have one Ankle Buckle that was as perfect as a Vac Form can be. Way better than anything I've done since and because it is a single part, I want to take a mold from it and produce clones of it from there.

I now have a pair of white mesh MAGs that actually fit with no tight spots
I used white mesh and navy thread because it is what I had and once I work out how to fit a tongue, laces and a cuff, I'll ready to start work on the new grey pair with colour matched thread.
After I am done with these, maybe I should theme them - Stormtrooper MAGs?

Unfortunately, i'm hearing "get ready for a surpriiiiiiize.....!"
But not that good kind.
Great mesh shoes btw. I guess they'll be pretty damn cool to wear in the summer.

Apart from their weight (which is next to nothing at 42grams each) and their tensile strength (very strong) it is the ability to release heat that has been my point of interest in this material.
The challenge now is how to add the tongue and cuff without compromising this breath-ability of the mesh and not having exposed or visible stitching.
Then comes the fun of the soles...

Nice one Cavx! It's great to see your work again!
I got my straps done and begin the fabric this week as well.

This. If he has to keep coming here posting page long replies trying to justify himself he won't have time to actually make them. Leave the man be.
p.s. I get first dibbs :lol

Nope, all on looking like you have an hours charge left then bam, off they go on one shoe whilst the other ones glowing so you look like a div

Although they do come into play when charging them up. I guess that is what he was thinking of.

When charging, only the red lights are on and then blink every second then the green lights stay on fully when charged.
You can turn the shoes on whilst charging if you wanted them on permanent display (bad idea IMO).

Hopefully a scratch build.
Aren't we all
Thanks. Those straps look pretty hot. I'll be doing a black MAG at some point soon myself with green for THE MATRIX theme.
Sounds and lights now? Geeze, why not just work on power laces and be done with it.
