So there were some problems with Mt Bigfoot's feet and he has 2 Movie gigs coming up so new Peds were in order.
Here's the same Bigfoot Boots with the feet ripped off and the insoles ripped out:
The first layer is 1/4 inch plywood the exact size of the boot:
So I put a sheet of Masonite up against the shop and let it get rained on for the last 3 weeks or so, and it's developed a great curve to it:
Here are the 3 layer sizes. The bottom 2 are Masonite the top one is the 1/4 inch:
This is how the bottom of the foot looks with the curve in it:
Building the stack:
This is the bottom layer shaped to meet the curve of the bottom Masonite. This makes walking easier, I will also have a hidden heel.
Though the whole stack is glued down with Construction Adhesive I've run 5 inch Lag Screws through to each layer of wood and down through the footbed of the Boot:
Set up to cure:
Carved and first layer of BondoGlass:
First layer of Bondo:
So the bottom of the boot will have old tire on it. Tire is impossible to cut with the steel belt in it so I picked up some tread off the highway that had separated off a Semi Tire. It'll be glued to the bottom. I'll post pics once the nails, hair and tread is on.

I skipped some steps in the picture taking process, but here they are sanded and primed.
I carve the toenail beds out and primed them, painted them pink, cut the nails, glued them down and used 2 part Plumber's Epoxy to make cuticles and toe wrinkles:
The nails are taped so the rest of the airbrushing can get finished.
Hair starts tomorrow, cause he has to be done on Thursday.
