I am really impressed at how clean your parts have come out. They're so perfect looking. Is that the yellow sole from my 11?

Great work as always, Cavx.

Yes that is one of your 11 yellow soles. I will be cutting them up soon to make new master parts. From their, pouring the mold.

Update:

Well guys, I figured out the LED wires and resistors.... Safe to say after just a few days I am very happy with how my MOD has turned out.

I've done everything except the toe slim. I'll probably do that, but am a little concerned. My foot is an 11, I have a size 10, and the shoe fits perfectly. I'm concerned that if I to slim it, they will be so tight on my toes, and even have my toes poking out. We'll see.

I've never done anything like this before. I've seen my dad solder about 15 years ago, and I have no idea how all the electronics work. So anyone that comes after me, it not that bad. Just follow @jedifyfe and @cavx tutorials, and you'll be solid.

A cheat sheet for those that can't/wont read the whole feed:

18 guage wire.
wire tape
3mm 3v LEDs
220ohm 1/4 watt at 5% resistors
use WIRE GLUE on anything that deals with the EL sheet connections... I f'd up one soldering it cuz I was on a roll.

Not sure if this happens to anyone elses, but as my battery dies the green LED dies, then the yellow, then the red... then all the lights.. I wish they all stayed lit, but its kinda cool because it's a real time battery level.

Thanks to all those before me! I'm too stoked.

Congrats on doing an awesome job! Nice to see a new person in this thread putting in the full effort.
My LEDs do the same thing with the sequence of them fading out. Pretty cool how it does that without us trying to do it on purpose, huh?

Just received my clear sole from @cavx! They look awesome!
Here's a little test light on my white painted soles:

They look awesome vormz, I am yet to get my leds working (@cavx is working on that using EL sheet). I actually mounted my EL sheets on the inside of the midsole;

What would be the best grey paint for the soles for a wear pair?

Most use that Angelus paint range. Because I was modding ADUBZ's shoes, I used the same light grey rubber I've applied to my mid-soles. It looks white through the clear after gluing.

 

[booshman]

I've found the Angelus light grey to still be too dark and had to mix it with white to get a light enough tone. Can't comment on the durability for them to be worn though as mine aren't finished yet.

It probably won't crack when glued between two sections of rubber. It seems to crack on the exterior because of the amount of compression the rubber goes under during walking.

Ha, yeah.. The LED fade is pretty cool.

Thanks man, it's well worth it. I'm very happy.

Is anybody interested to see me live streaming when i will do my next black pair (that should arrive monday or tuesday).

The first live stream will be about nearly a hour or two and the subjects will be :

- Showing you how to do a steam toe mod without any wrinkles and looks like slim toe mod for people that don't want to do it.
- Flat lacing the shoes
- Dying in black the soles (how to prepare them and apply the dye)
- Make the splatter on the the soles (how to prepare the shoes etc...)
- Heelcups painting (logos)

I thought about it so tell me what's your thoughts

I'd love to see this, but is there a reason you don't just record a video? Not everyone would be available during the time you're streaming.

 

[Catfish45]

I would be interested in this too but would rather it be a video so I could watch it at my convenience

Klen YouTube it due to the different time frames around the world.

 

[Klen]

Then i'll youtube it
Do you guys want to see the process from A to Z or just a short version ?

I agree. Full version, and thanks!

Here's a quick review on the black V2s

Sorry for my english !!! :$

 

[cavx]

They look like the soles on the black pair have blue in the rubber.
