worked on Chewies feet today!, figured out how to put his toes on!, i asked chewie changa for some!., no pics yet but, here is a reference pic that inspires me.
after days of practice walking with the walking stilts on, i found it to be a bit difficult to walk around with the stock bottoms so, after doing some research i found if the soles were wider it would be easier to walk, run, and jump also.
what i decided to go with was to make the walking stilts a bit more stable, i built some wider feet using cardboard box wrapped in duct tape, and to hold together the soles using 'Great Stuff' insulating foam.
just some good drying time and so far, so good!,
this is some foam seat cushions you can pick up at wall mart.
i used some foam seat cushions to create the leg walls around the springs of the walking stilts.
i used duct tape to hold down the foam cushions while i wrapped and align the leg walls.
then i wrapped up all the foam with duct tape to give it a harder but functional skin.
i picked up some easy car mats to use for my under soles, easy $3.00 kicks!
i cut then fit the mat under the feet
looks like these are gonna be just fine in all weather. now i need my wookiee toes!
