If you have any questions, just ask. I may be able to help a bit perhaps.

I know I said I would update. But unfortunately(for the update) I was out of town this weekend. Monday it rained like a mofo. Today I had some family things. My sister had her baby, so I am an uncle for the third time this year. But I will be kicking it into high gear tomorrow.

I was wondering the same thing.I was planning on putting foam padding in the calf area of my pants to make them match the size of my thighs,Since the characters have legs like an elephant.

But I want know Propcustomz is going to do it.

The update on This build is awesome. It just go's to show us that what can be done if foam, and how it can be done by a master builder. This is most Amazing Eye-candy.

Thank you very much.

Insole or outsole? For the outsole I might get some truck bed spray. For the inside I will just stack several layers of the cheap camping mat in there.

They are 6" in diameter end to end.

Here is the thigh after paint I would have had the chest painted as well. But unfortunately I ran out of Plasti-dip. So it will have to wait until tomorrow.
