Apollo asked and I am starting it. Here is my boots and shin armor thread. I found a pair of GBX crew cut boots for $20 that are going to work GREAT! They are chunky and tan soled. I wasn't going to pay big money for ones that look close and that needed moded anyway. So here is the exact specs if you are interested in getting them......
GBX Stock#042489 color wheat
Not sure what the original name of them is. I got them at a clearance shoe place in the local mall.
So they are going to work fine because they need moded anyway. I'm planning on NOT adding any plastic toe armor?!!? I think I've come up with a way to incorporate it into the overall vinyl design. If you look at the ILM photo real close the toe armor is part of the boot. It isn't a separate piece like Jango's.
I started to cut, shape and round out a pair of old thigh armor. I'm planning on using it for my shins. Keep in mind that this picture is only for referance. It is my old shin.
The last picture I have is of one side with the first piece of vinyl glued on.
I am using two different glues. Both are from Walmart.......3M in a black tube with red lettering and Bondini. Bondini for the first part and 3M for larger areas. I used both for my Shac shoe converstion on my Ep2 Clone.
So that is all I have right now. I am not going really fast right now. Too much Holiday's, family and life at the moment. Be nice Troopers.
