iconoclasta_88 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hey everybody... Just thinking about boots and well, came with this idea. Has anyone considered placing an order to lets say, TKBoots, but for black boots, and then painting them white? This of course in order to have more accurate boots as the ones used on production during 1976. Any thoughts on this? Saludos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Oh yeah, I know there have been a few people who have done this sort of thing. Check over on the FISD for talk about it. Or maybe even the RPF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zon Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Your quest for screen accuracy is amazing... Crazy, but amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD9323 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Good idea Juan. I've been keeping an eye out for a pair of inexpensive black Jodhpur boots but their always $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grit Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 i did but i was concerned about the pant cracking of and that sort of thing (you may need to give it touch-up's and things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yes, cracks are a concern, but also part of the whole thing. This is the look I would be aiming for: (From a thread at the FISD) I am still thinking about it. saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smally Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I think this would be a good look for the screen accurate TK's, but as TD's we need to weather our boots anyway, so there is a possibility that you wouldn't even see the screen accurate paint over. Just my two cents Smally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grit Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 also it may make it harder to wether the boots (depending on the white pant ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hey Juan,i'm using pictures of TM's found boots for my boot maker HERE maybe it will be a better reference for them If they can tackle it,i'm surely would saving to buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I have own two pairs in black. I did not like them too much. The black keep on coming through, and made the white paint a bit red a like in the tone here and there. Plus the black elastic turn stiff, from the paint job getting it white. I might try again some day, but for now i´m pretty happy for my tk boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace out I think that something that is different from the FISD, is that here there are not so many prop collectors. Most of our members are just TD fans or 501st members, but, the prop collector community is small. Thats is not good or bad. A big many things of the knowledge we have about armor comes from the prop collectors community outside the 501st. But one thing that is true is that many times, discussions don't get so intense here, because we don't have as much knowledge of the actual pieces and persons involved in the making of production props, moulds, and all that, and that we do not invest the amounts prop collectors invest for real props and parts. Anyway, I sometimes enjoy those discussions, and I am truly thankful for the prop community that has discovered, tracked and shared so many great pieces... not enjoy so much when discussions turn personal or simply don't go anyway.

woodman Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I really would like to comment on the tight-lipped boot brand ordeal but it just burns me up...seriously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I just enjoying what TM had found,and provide us with pictures and descriptions,it is far much much better than all the screen caps i got(or almost all what we had before). I go to my boot maker without any guesses now,and just saying,"MAKE EXACTLY LIKE THIS" :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
