Hey folks, It's been a hot minute or two but I've been far from idle.

I recently took a stab at some Canadian style Invasion Boots.
Some Recent WIPs 50936271997_830cf86eec_c

I took some two-buckle US boots and trimmed the top of the gaiter off, leaving just one buckle, then painted them black and mod podge'd the hell out of them.

Close enough!

Here they are on a figure I've been kitting out for colder weather.

I also changed my sniper over to his Whites to keep things seasonal.

I've also recently been sprucing up some helmets. Replacing the plastic strap loops with paper clip, and the straps with grosgrain ribbon.

You ever come across a product or technique you like and wind up using it on everything? That's me currently with matte mod podge.

I've been texturizing the helmets using mod podge. I apply with a wet brush, then stipple with a sponge as it dries.
Several applications later, you get a nice looking texture

Awesome work! I never cease to be amazed by your ingenious weathering techniques. Your figures always end up with a high level of realism, so it definitely pays off. And thank you -- it's really generous of you to share your methods here. : )

That's some nice work. Love what you were able to do with Mod Podge & sponge stippling. Very cool.

The helmets are made of super dense bulletproof Canadian hockey tape as far as I know.

Also had a discussion with Reverend Spooky lately about the hype of mod podge. Your work does shine another light on it.

Canadian style Invasion boots should be a brand name.

Great work sir.

You can't customize something in Canada without using hockey tape. Just can't. It is the Candalorian Way!  Shocked
Plus it's just really good tape. Very Happy
