TK3645 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 Boots came back from being dyed/painted today, I'm thrilled with them, they look great: Hi Steve, Looking at your boots I see the soles haven't been painted white. Just wanted to mention to you that the general consensus is that the worn screen ROTJ boots have a painted white sole. Saying that though we have pics of the ROTJ suit at the Identities Exhibition with the soles of the boots having a natural light brown/blonde colour. There's also some additional stitching on the boots...Have a look at the Photo gallery pics and your see what I mean.. Keep up the great build mate. Quote
Balders Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Posted August 27, 2015 Thanks for that feedback. I did some research and yes there are some white soles for sure in RotJ, will have a look at the stitching thing later on.<br><br> Got some more done on my lid yesterday, lenses and ear details to go. I've fitted a hard hat liner which I may need to adjust, but generally speaking, for my first ever build I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out. 2 Quote

Balders Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Posted September 9, 2015 Have managed to sort shoulder straps tonight and also found a way of preventing the shins riding up on top of the boots, so all in all I think I'm about set. Quote

TKCaleb Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 looking close at the shins, I noticed they sit above the boots. Are you having trouble closing them? Quote

Balders Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Posted September 10, 2015 looking close at the shins, I noticed they sit above the boots. Are you having trouble closing them? No they close OK,but were just riding up a bit. As mentioned above, I've fixed that with some Velcro on the front boot strap to the inside front of each shin. Worked like a charm. First troop on Saturday. Can't wait. 2 Quote
