My first attempt at clone boots????

So here it is, my first attempt at a pair of clone boots. I winged it off pics of other boots in the show off your clone boots thread. I'm not happy but not bad for my first attempt.

I used a pair of mossimo skate shoes that I got at Target and bought some white vinyl online. For the boot horse shoe spats I used a five gallon white plastic bucket. I traced them out and it worked sweet. The bucket is already round so since I do not have a heat gun there was no need to bend the plastic. Here's a few pics

So for the round disc's I used this bit that lets you cut out circles.

Then I applied them with JB Weld and weathered them with a Tamiya weathering kit.

And the finished product

Looking good so far! Will you be weathering them? Personally Im a kinda 'shiny liking' trooper myself....did you pick up the discs too for the straps?

Cool. Got any side pics?

I'm putting on the straps tonight and maybe some weathering to. Still have to make the disc's, I'll keep you updated

They look like good work! Better than i could do (so i just bought some..yeah im lazy..lol!)

Look good! What glue/epoxy did you use?

I used fabri-tac, its good stuff because it drys quick.

oOo.. i like your boots...

mine are more low-cut, but the you run into the problem of what goes between the top of the boot, and the bottom of the shin armor.. i like the way you solved this problem! i may have to adapt mine to do something like this...
