Hey not much of a posting kind of guy, silently research I guess, but we recently built a few GM's, this looks like the place! We made some parts ourselves we couldn't get elsewhere. These are before weathering and such, as we were making progress. I will post some pics of it all together tommorrow, I don't have them right now.. We made our own shoulders, knees, shins/calves, and backpack. The BP looks great when all done! We got it all together for a troop, (almost)still need 2 belt pouches and the 4 under BP ones, (no one even knew, GM's are not that popular I guess!) but wait til I get those pics! The BP is also ABS, opens, and the side boxes do as well. It needs a little refinement, but overall works well. made our own chest, but used an existing clone back. We had toe caps but scrapped em' after our troop, need to make better ones.. The problem there is unless you have the exact Jango sole, (we don't) the caps don't really fit right on different shoes. So we couldn't make one sculpt, we made ones that fit our style of shoe. Anyways here's some pics, what do you think? Like I said these were WIP pics, look way better complete and weathered! We were in the garage for a month strait every night trying to get these done! We made the shin pretty big and tall, to fit prettymuch whoever! The Left was still being measured, Right pretty much good. These were for 2 different people BTW. Left pull right mold. i34.photobucket.com/albums/d135/Stiwa/projects044.jpg[/IMG]Left pull right mold, don't have a pic of left shoulder on file.. Still needed some shaping but already painted.

The boots on the right look GREAT! Any details on them? What did you use?
Can you get us more pics? Progress pics? Pictures of the back?
Great job!

Love the shins, and love the boots too! Those boots are KILLER! What brand/model are they?
Nice job.
By the way, what material did you use for the belt and pouches?

Hey we doubled up wide leather belts and glued vinyl to them. It looks lighter tan in person, but that pic it looks too dark. Here is a pic of the shoes before anything. There is obviously no arch, we added that! heh looks crazy seeing thats how they were originally, look WAY different! They are Sketchers, don't know the model though. Hope that helps!

That is a great boot base. I think I will have to look for those.

Rotton, not sure when you'll post here again, but I was wondering how you made the Toe armor?
