Jodhpur dye boots

[stratocaster]

Please check my painted boots - I will join 501 as Stormtrooper, not Centurion/EIB

 

 

 

 

 

I can add more photos of dyeing process if needed

They look fine for basic approval

[Duras[TK]]

will the embossed Toggi logo just above the heal not cause approval issues?

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

they shouldn't have any logos visible but it just depends how the approval photos are taken hint hint lol

Punch was good enough for finishing paint process

An 'Imperial Attaché' actively encouraging others to use the ancient art of deception for clearance?,....WOW!!,

Why do things right when it's soooooooo much easier to cut corners

We are on the dark side aren't we? If we wanted to be good, honest, upstanding citizens we would be Rebels.

Hhmmm... is it normal to make advertising of SW-related sales in signature? ) I know one girl from 501, who forbid me to use 501's resources etc. for e-shop promotion

Troopermaster isn't an e-shop though.

[Dday[501st]]

And me selling holsters and Ab buttons for FX and other old kits isn't an E-Shop either.

 

So, hi, hows things with you?

[stratocaster]

Only e-shop is prohibited? ))))))))

[TK bondservnt[501st]]

when vetted sellers promote their FISD linked sales, it's all "in house" D day and I are examples of sellers who are FISD approved.

thus we have the option of putting links to OUR OWN sales threads.

 

such as the links listed in my signature.

[Dday[501st]]

So we are not really E-shops, we're people who happen to do a particular thing to help the community by providing accurate, authentic prop replicas to promote a better looking group of stormtroopers.

[stratocaster]

Ok, thanks )

Excellent work!

[skyone]

thanks

what about your boots? the paint resists?

[stratocaster]

I got the following "scars" after walk - need to repair paint layers, also I'm waiting for TK boots

[skyone]

ok just scars from the armor

did you clean boots with a solvent before apply the angelus paint?

 

[stratocaster]

No, I didn't use solvent

[skyone]

below pictures of my dyed boots walking at Milan Cartoon convention last weekend

 

at the end of full 2 days of walking around i got scratches only on the back part because of armor shins (and hidded by them). Inside the front part of shins i added foam, that protected the boots. So will add foam also on the back side.

 

I will take care of my boots
