I tried using a Halloween prop; that didn’t work. I tried to make it from scratch with craft foam; that failed. So I went to the grocery and searched for a bottle with a similar shape lol this was it lolol round and perfect.
I drank that all within 2-3 days LOLOL
After cutting off the top and making it smaller (that took forever cuz of the hard plastic)… so begins the process of making that stupid thing 😂😐
So I used black primer first. Then I spray painted it with the almond color. I repainted it several times cuz of mistakes lol esp the stupid lines
The cork top was made with simple foam. I didn’t have regular brown paint so I used my metallic brown that I somehow had and it worked
Painting out the lines was a pain. SUCH a pain lol none of it was even. The spiral script was one shot though
But after all the time and struggle, I think it worked out in the end lol my Auron figure really helped as a reference 💕
I say “completed” cuz the armor part isn’t actually glued on yet. I have to get some cement glue for it to stick lol
Attaching the rivets and the brown pleather was relaxing. The shoe is a bit messy from the hot glue residue, which is easy to clean up.
Time to do the same process on the second shoe! I do post my WIP first on my Bluesky account (username is Seimyx) before posting it here. I could write more here though lol
Why does making auron’s shoe feel like I’m constructing the sexy man himself 👀
