    This is saving my Halloween costume 😊
    I'm going as a really buff Decepticon and the boots are really difficult but you explain things really well!

    This is absolutely gorgeous!! One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life! Those boots looks pretty good too!

    Those upward nails... No jumping from tall buildings in a single bound please...
    Suggestion: Instead of putting some nails upward the "shoe base"...
    you may sew it using a long wire (doubled over and twisted that would act as a BIG needle) and some strong threads... Then, you may attach that to the underside of the boots.
    You may also want to put some rubber foam to fill in the gap (seen on 2:02) so the weight would be distributed more equally to the new shoe base (not just on the front and back of the rain boots)

    Was popping in to see if there was a different method from how I did the boys for my Ork Warboss, and I see you did it exactly the same way I did. On the bright side, I feel validated for what I did on mine. 😂

    I think Dollar Store Flip Flops might be a less labor intensive way to make shoe lifts/boot lift soles.....$3 for 3 pair....can't beat it....

    this is the best tutorial for big boots! i'm making zarya boots and the durability is amazing. I rather spend a little more on boots instead flip flops. like she said get a boot with a heel so you can screw in screws . for me i screwed in three screws at the of the heel (not in front cause i want to jump) and four in front BUT on the side of the boot!

    Been trying to figure out how I would make my own power armor. My approach is leaning towards something that will likely cost a lot by using fiberglass to make the skeleton under cage, then hang plates like it looks from the game. I haven't started since I was considering making to someone else size so they can wear it. someone younger and more fit. :) Your idea looks great so far.

    Hi, Zombie! First of all, you are the cutest cosplay builder I have ever seen. Now to my question: When you use Plastic-Dip do you need to use a ventilator or be outside? I am mainly asking because winter is coming and I am not lucky enough to have a garage like you. :) Thanks in advance!
