Most of you guys (and gals) know how bad my toe armor looks, and with Long Beach Comic Con this weekend, I need to do something...considering on the last day of the SDCC they actually fell off as I was trooping.
Exhibit A) El Crappo GM toe armor:
With the first day of LBC-CC tomorrow, I figured I'd get off my butt and do something about it today (well, I really wasn't on my butt since I had Jury Duty this week, and Finals at school last week).
Anywho, here is some progress I have so far...if you could call it that since I started around 8pm (Please note that these are only temporary and figure they might fall appart before next week).
1) I grabbed the shoes I wear with my armor, and wrapped it with Aluminum Foil (not to be confused with an Aluminum Falcon ), then I drew an outline of the shape I wanted the toes to look with a Sharpie and cut it.
2) Once I had the Aluminum foil cut in the shpae I wanted, I covered it in Bondo.
3) Once I finished it, I did the same to the other side
The foil is pretty Flimsy, and some of the Bondo has already cracked. Because of how flimsy the foil is, I won't be able to sand down the bondo so I think I'll end up wrapping them in white Vinyl.
Tomorrow when I come back from the CON, I will then wrap these toes in the Vinyl, add the Greeblies, and place them on my Shoes (oh yeah and add some battle damage too). I'll troop my GM at the CON on Saturday, since tomorrow (Friday) I'm going just to take pictures and maybe write an article for my friend's website nukethefridge.com
