Nova Boots

[HammyDribbler]

Hi, my wife and I are not convinced that our 7 year old will want to wear his Gir outfit for the whole 2 days of London Super Comicon.



So I am going to make him a Nova outfit to fall back on. I have already sourced a suit (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Kid-C...Dress_UK&var=550556306409&hash=item3a97a8cfca) and one of you lovely folks has unfolded the necessary pep file for me to spend 2 weeks sizing and building (only my second ever pep and my first required a hell of a lot of filler). Think I can crap out a good set of body armour / detailing so that leaves me with....

What do you do for Nova Boots? They are yellow and kind of well fitted. Help!!!!!!!

Also is there anything else I may have missed for Nova?

Thanks Guys and Girls.

Ham out!

I'm not sure what version of Nova you are building, but making some boot covers out of a leather like material could work. If you wanted to go more of the armored route you could always use EVA foam. I have never worked with pep files before, I always make my own templates and build with foam. Another good technique for making armor that I use is using plastic from bin lids and stuff like that, just have to buff the edges so it's not sharp. I hope I helped, good luck with your build.

Thanks Cap. I am going to try an EVA helmet build prior to building the pep version (just finished cutting it out) to see if I can and because it may be more comfortable for the wee man's head.

Glad I could help.
