Continuuing to build on Meowster - have not posted updates here... because I am lame.
My current excitement is around the stomp activate boot LEDs.
I have a really terrible tutorial here - LED...
Working through the concept, phase of a mash up. Probably going to lean on 3D printing and leatherwork. For some god awful reason I keep trying to convince myself I should add chainmail but I’m not sure it would vibe quite right. Hmm
