Hello,
I am a returning forum member. My account has been dormant for a while but I recently reactivated it. This is the only forum that I can post in for a bit of advice/help.
I am starting my sculpt with the boots/calves/knee plates using medium hard, oil based clay. I am in the process of making a cheapo mould (suran wrap, packing tape and plastic bags) of my foot to build ontop of but my bigger question is if I should sculpt ontop of a boot?
I found a pair of steel toe rubber boots at Wally World for $25 yesterday that I Believe will work for the build but I am not sure if I should begin the sculpt ontop of these or just use them later. The idea was to cut them down by a few inches so that they do not ride higher than where the armor would be. I thought that this might help out later on after the moulding and casting process. I thought about using a pair of generic crocs to do the same thing but these seemed like they might work a bit better.
Below are the pics I took while wearing the boots. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome! Thank you.
P.S.
I will post any and all updates within this thread.
