GUYS BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE 2.1SALE ON DHGATE
i warned yall a few days ago
i asked for further pics and they gave me the top one

View attachment 676447 I asked about the V2.1s and requested pictures and was given this image. The seller very clearly answered my question and I was delighted to hear this response... I quickly then realized that I think I was given an image of the V2s seeing as the shoes have no toe slim and a "workboot" sort of look. Let me know if I'm right or wrong. Also, I am recently feeling compelled to start a mag collection... Is the V2.1 a good place to start. Much appreciated, Thanks!

This is what I got as an answer. I'm not too sure if its legit, but I think if they send you a bad pair DHgate should theoretically refund you because there is a guarantee. So it might be worth the gamble.
 
Accurate to the last detail????

Not quite because I am not making these from Fibre Glass. I have worked with fibreglass and I really don't like the stuff the stuff with the smell and the itch etc. So what I want is to make a tube bag that looks the part (lids to wrap around the body etc), but lighter than the PVC versions I have seen (and made myself). To do this, I am choosing to thermoform this from plastic. Because I will "female tool" this, I should be able to keep at least a 3mm wall thickness.

There are other versions of this bag that are made from card tube (sonos tube, I think is what it is called. They use it to make concrete pillars for houses and some audio enthusiasts make speakers from it). I just don't think a cardboard tube is going to good enough to be used and from the images I have seen, i certainly don't want the spiral pattern around the body and lids.

The ends will most likely be clear, but I may offer an opaque option.

Some parts ( like the internal supports for the lids) may even have to be cast yet. Right now, I am working to make a big ass vacuum former that can actually pull the 11" diameter tubes.
 
Ok guys. The people over at Swanflight just sent me their Nike Mag Plutonium Case. This is customs made just for the Mags. It will fit all sizes and even has the perfect cutout for the charger box. I and SO impressed with this. It will be up for sale shortly so stay tuned.

That's pretty sweet Brad...now I'm a little sad about buying the standard case. It's still pretty nice though!IMG_2807.JPG
 
Wife's text to say my parcels arrived!! Ahhhh. Going bowling later so I gotta wait like 7 hours until I can open my mags [emoji30][emoji30][emoji30]

Does anyone on here have expierences with photofluorescent paint on the soles parts where the EL sits?

Or does anyone in general have expierence with such paintings?

I have a lot of experience with glow in the dark materials. Most glow in the dark paints are disappointing. Are you wanting to replace the EL with glow in the dark? I have had best results with gitd paint when I mix it myself. Fine strontium aluminate powder in a clear medium of your choice. If there is interest in gitd panels to replace the EL...this is something I could make easily. I think cavx mentioned he already made some before though? Maybe you have some already made?
