Soldier Boot Update

My fingertips are black with dried glue and leather dye, but I think I did it. Not the best, but better than the sculpted boots I had baked.


If I can manage to carve a piece of wood into a boot shape complete with a toe dent, and then drape wet leather to that and pin it to death until it dries into the shape of the wood, I would be satisfied. Perhaps that is a future project. These boots, however, will do the trick for now as it is more proportional to the body of the soldier ape.
At least now I can proceed and complete the saddle with some more D rings and then rigging a leather cinch to keep the saddle on the horse.


I will add a bottom layer of leather on the boots and will include a short heel. The boots at this point at least are the appropriate size to fit into a stirrup.


Need coffee... I should have gotten up earlier this morning and been more productive. Instead, I lingered in bed and thought about items of action I needed to do. I thought about Dr. Zaius' portraits since the sun was shining. Now the sun is gone and it looks like it won't be peeking out any time soon.
