Modified StarFortress Boots...THANKS DonnieDarko688

[hankey01]

I posted a follow up in the Cargo Hold, but it vansihed.

I just wanted to post my resluts repainting Starfortress Boots. I havent done the toe spikes yet...

I think the pics are out of order, but one is before, one is after the green is covered with black and the soles are painted over.

I did weather them so they arent shiny, have skuffs, wear lines on the soles, etc.

 

[Boba Fett]

Hey good job man! They look much better than they did before.

 

[Laan]

Good work bud!
What will you do about the darts?

 

[hankey01]

Uh....do you mean the toe spikes?

 

[Boba Fett]

Dude that is a nice setup you have there.

 

[TeamFett]

Honestly, I would not have recognized those as Boba boots in the before pic. Great job with redoing them.

And you're rifle is a little inaccurate for ESB

 

[Boba Fett]

You will have to post some pics of the shoes when you get them done hankey. So did they come with the smell that I promised you? lol.

 

[Jimmy BufFETT]

Just out of curiosity, is C-3PO intended to be dismantled? Because in the carbon freezing chamber, he is. Just wondering if this is intentional or just a coincidence.

 

[Boba Fett]

HAHA I didn't even pick up on that. That is pretty funny!

 

[hankey01]

Hahaha...damn I love ppl with an eye for things! He's just sitting there waiting for me to have time to finish him..but I should paint his disassembled parts gold to make it ESB accurate.

Yes the Blaster is a little innacure. LOL! That $3 gun is just a placeholder until I get a better one. I do have a ROTJ one in the works....so it will still be a little innacurate...but who's to say he didnt have both blasters and his ROTJ one was just waiting in the Slave I?

I'll post pics of the completed boots for sure! The smell was better than expected actually.

You need some gauntlets for your manniquen? I got some up in the Cargo Hold as we speak, just so ya know. Go ahead and take them off my hands.

Hehe..I do have some gauntlets on their way...but thanks for mentioning it!

 

[hankey01]

Here are the finished weathered boots with my toe spikes that I just finished making.

 

[Boba Fett]

Nice work Mr. Hankey. They look much better! Congrats!

 

[Hammer of Might]

Yes, they do look nice.

 

[TeamFett]

Cool, are they aluminum?

 

[CombatBaby]

-=QuinN!

 

[hankey01]

Thanks guys! The starfortress boots were exactly what I was looking for. The toe spikes are wood dowels sharpened and painted..but the base is aluminum.
