OK gang, I've come across what I think might be some easily modded boots for any GM ... Several actually listed on Ebay at the moment. I have one pair I got from the thrift store, and another pair I'm watching on Ebay ... I'm looking for some honest opinions ... My aunt came across a pair of these at the thrift store ... I personally would further define the grooves on the sole and do the entire sole tan ... Really not a big deal This is my other option ... tread is more accurate on this one, but not the arch ... Here, I'd Plasti-dip the soles tan and dye the upper white Are either of these viable options or am I grasping at straws??? Hook a brother up ...

Man I really wish I could comment on these, but the pics are just way too small to be able to really see if the details are correct or not. Any way you can find some bigger ones or enlarge these without making them too pixelated? Just at first glance though, I'd say the overall boot shape of the one on top is close (and more accurate than the brown one) but it doesn't have the flexible part on the side like the brown one. The tread on the brown one is closer but still not accurate (that arch isn't going to cut it on either one of them to be honest) but the body shape isn't really correct either. Have you tried hitting up Gio (crow62) over on CT.net? I think he mentioned to me a few months back that he was going to be looking at possibly making these available. Might want to pm him and see how far he's gotten on it.

Thanks RKD ... not what I wanted to hear but very helpful .... Here is another Buffalino boot for consideration ... I think the overall shape of the boot is closer, the front tread needs to be more pronounced and I can fix that ... what do you think otherwise??? Attachments:

The top brown chelsea boots dont look too bad, but you would still have to do alot of mod'ing to them.

Those Buffalinos definitely look closer IMO, but still not quite right. To me that arch is a high profile area and really needs to be more accurate. Let me know what you find out from Crow, I'm curious to see where he's at on those.

Curious Tribune ... The Texas Steer boots are lace up aren't they ? ... Did you have the side zip added??

In the Soviet Union, the series was shown under different names: “Dinosaur People” (in video distribution in the early 1990s); “Victoria” (on the STS channel in 1998); "Star Warriors" (on the ORT channel from July 6 to August 25, 1999).
