Re: The Matrix Neo Airwalk Boots PROTO PICS 11/4 SMCG

:clap

Let's order already!


Thank you, sithlordmacgyver -- you've done a man's job.

Two nits, if I may:
1. perhaps a thinner lace.
2. perhaps the two straps where the foot meets the shin should be a little slimmer so the don't bunch up.

Well...here we go FINALLY..some PICS.

Here are some details on the boots....
FAUX LEATHER BOOTS
METAL GROMMETS AND STUD DETAILS
METAL BUCKLES
EMBROIDERED "A" LOGO (this gave me the best results)
ETCHED "A" LOGOS ON THE BOOT STRAPS
THE FRONT FLAP CAN BE OPENED UP EXPOSING THE GROMMETS
BOOTFEET WILL WORK WITH HOT TOYS, TTL, SSTORY AND TRIAD

TOE DETAILS: After some trial and error and taking a look at the available workable fabrics, what I decided to do is use two fabrics layered for a few reasons.
1. To give the mesh effect
2. To give the toe some "bulk"
3. Because there are some who want to have a "silver" look and some who wanted a "dull" look, this layered look will give those who want a silver look to have an option to use a fabric paint and customize the toes.

I hope you enjoy them....I know it has been some time but I hope the end result will be to everyone's likeing.

NOW ITS YOUR TURN FOR FEEDBACK....

THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!!

Like I said before, outstanding work, Chad! I agree with Wor-Gar's suggestions, only I know how difficult finding the right material for the toe has been for you.

Anyone know someone who might be able to build holster and rig sets for us now?

Re: The Matrix Neo Airwalk Boots *WIP Pic on pg. 18*

Fantastic!!!. This is indeed worth the wait. So any idea how much these will cost?

Excellent work! Comparing them to the shots Wor-Gar posted really shows how accurate they are in all the small details.
Do the ankles still allow for articulation? It looks like it, and would be very cool if so.

Nice to see this is coming along. The lace needs somewhere to go on the shoes. I'm assuming they can be tucked into the front flap part?

Re: The Matrix Neo Airwalk Boots *WIP Pic on pg. 18*

Yeah just tuck the laces in. No problem.

They look amazing btw :rock

Stevo Toys.

Let's all be honest, his work is great but his price is a little too high for a rig that is not really screen accurate.

Thanks everyone so far for your feedback...just to quickly answer them:

Laces Tuck In? YES...the front "A" logo Plate opens up completely so you can tuck them in and buckle them back up.

THE BIG QUESTION: PRICE? I am working up my final pricing on them this week and at that time, I will have the info for ordering them as well as the in stock details.

BOTTOM TWO BOOT STRAPS: Completely agree, I will try to thin them up a bit to eliminate the "bulk" on them.

Thanks again everyone..

I will be posting information on them very soon.

Thanks Chad, can't wait to order! :hi5:

Re: The Matrix Neo Airwalk Boots *WIP Pic on pg. 18*

ditto, I think what you made here is super impressive bud.

 

[galactiboy]

Re: The Matrix Neo Airwalk Boots *WIP Pic on pg. 18*

Those look amazing Chad! Little worried about the price, but I know they will be worth it.

These have got to be some of the most complex boots one could tackle in 1/6 :lol

 

[Wor-Gar]

Re: The Matrix Neo Airwalk Boots *WIP Pic on pg. 18*

Thank you very much, Chad! Great work!

Re: The Matrix Neo Airwalk Boots *WIP Pic on pg. 18*

Hi, still count me in for 3 pairs, depending on price, CHEERS

 

[sithlordmacgyver]

Re: The Matrix Neo Airwalk Boots *WIP Pic on pg. 18*

OK...
I do have some additional information and I also need a BIG favor of everyone who may be able to help.

Now I know I said I may not be able to help with the holsters but if anyone can locate me some "GOOD" screen accurate pictures of the front and back, I may be able to work some magic.

This in NO way will cause a delay any further for the NEO boots...

I have a rough idea on price for each boot again...and this should be pretty accurate.

I am going to keep the cost around 28.oo per pair and NO MORE THAN THAT!!! That will keep in the same price range as what the underworld herione boots were.(27.99)

I will have the preorder info this weekend with the final in stock shipping info as well.

I also have made those adjustments to the two bottom straps(not so wide) and I didnt like the front flap with the "A" logo because the grommets were just a touch showing past the flap. I want them to stay behind the front flap.

NOW IF ANYONE CAN EMAIL ME SOME NEO HARNESS/HOLSTER PICS..I NEED THEM IMMEDIATELY.

Thanks again everyone.
