This is great brad really enjoying this thread :cool
This project has progressed leaps and bounds past what I had expected - VERY good work!
Here ya go Brad. Hope this helps:
R = Resistor :rolleyes. These will depend on the ratings of the LEDs used. There are plenty of sites that can calculate which resistors you will need depending on the miliamps of the LEDs being used. If you need any further detail or help with this just drop me a line and I'll help best I can. :thumbsup

Thanks Minok!
Hey Luke. I am still going to probably make the bubble higher because the LED's need to fit in there better.
As for how I did it, I used a sheet of thin plastic (kind of like packaging plastic) laid it ontop of a form I pre-cut and heated it up, then pushed it through the cutout. It's like a reverse vacform.
Hello !
In your plan, you do not use inverter for the EL tape? You dont need?
For the sole, why not use a strip El tape?
Finally, for the yellow sole there is no product that can discolor ?
loving the progress here!
The the upper looks spot on, correct proportions, exact fabric weave and tone, the Mark Poon soles are good, however your shoe looks so accurate i'm wondering if you're thinking about re moulding the back part, the shape on the real Mag is really weighted to the base of the sole and they reach into the shoe further, setting off the swoosh, they also seem to 'peak' at the top, the shoe seems to have a lot of these bits that have to be just right, and they're all tricky! if are thinking of a new rear 'bit' how would you go about it? is it possible to build up layers of silicone?
once again... the ankle velcro strap is in the inner side of the shoe not out...
As for the light bubble diffusion, I plan on either matte spray painting it ot trying a frosted plastic.
As for the ankle strap, the reason it is strapped on the outside was because I messed up making the EL sheet on the wrong side. Although, some of the screen used shoes had the strap closure on the outside:

p.s. If any of my suggestions above were taken even slightly offensively, be assured Brad, it wasn't meant that way at all.
Not at all. I can handle ALL critisism. Thanks Luke. :thumbsup
honestly brad the only thing I see that needs improvement is the ankle lights.If you look closely the ankle lights need to be more angled almost coming close to the back of the heel piece.And the other thing I noticed is that the straps under the fabric seem to be too raised maybe a little less bulky.GET IT? GOT IT? GOOOOOOD :love

p.s. He's already on with streamlining the laces to look sleeker. Watch his YouTube vid, it's really good.
