>>11195535>someone mentioned going over it with pearlescent,Oh yeah, I remember that thread and conversation. That's probably a good idea.
>Those I'm unsure, like the cape.Cape's aren't hard, but I'm going to go to the fabric/craft/sewing equivalent of Michael's in my home town and at least look and see what fabric they have; the best cape I saw on a figure (I want to say a Robin?) was two pieces of fabric, so two tones of color, and it looked really good, whereas a lot of the single pieces of fabric are what make a lot of those look cheap and low quality.
But as far as the boots, you might start looking at fodder and since the legs won't be 1:1, it's possible that a Captain America or similar figure might give you the boots you want and would work.
I need hollow boots to complete something and what exists is just too fucking expensive for something I'll eventually end up reselling once I complete, because it's not something I really WANT for myself any longer, just a project I need to finish.
