How to Make Giant Armor Boots for Cosplay [Building T-60 Power Armor] 

This is saving my Halloween costume 😊 I'm going as a really buff Decepticon and the boots are really difficult but you explain things really well!

Those upward nails... No jumping from tall buildings in a single bound please... Suggestion: Instead of putting some nails upward the "shoe base"... you may sew it using a long wire (doubled over and twisted that would act as a BIG needle) and some strong threads... Then, you may attach that to the underside of the boots. You may also want to put some rubber foam to fill in the gap (seen on 2:02) so the weight would be distributed more equally to the new shoe base (not just on the front and back of the rain boots)

This is absolutely gorgeous!! One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life! Those boots looks pretty good too!

I think Dollar Store Flip Flops might be a less labor intensive way to make shoe lifts/boot lift soles.....$3 for 3 pair....can't beat it....

Fantastic . This is by far the simplest tutorial for large boots that I've seen . Great Job . Keep it up .

This is amazing :D I'm building he exact same armour right now, so please document all your work because it is helping me so much, and looks incredible. I'm following it as a tutorial :D

Hey , great work! I am an artist who has been making props for people for forever and I'm finally getting into cosplaying , kinda one of those ,"why the hell am I not doing this my self?! " moments and although I have a good bag of tricks of my own for building your videos are awesome and insightful! ty for the content and the help .Subbed and liked!

Oh my gosh!!! They look so amazing!

I'm so happy I found your tutorials!! Really helpful!

Thanks so much for this!! i am working on a power armor suit right now actually and i was wondering on how i was going to make the shoes, question answered! once again you are amazing!

This will help me in making awesome boots! Thank you!

LOVE you're cosplay videos! You do AMAZING work!

ZONBI, I LOVE YOUR HAIRRRRR. And thank you so much for the tips and tutorials you have on your channel! I love watching your videos. They have definitely helped me make progress on some costumes I'm working on! Thanks!

Great tutorial! Could you do one on bulkier power armor shins? I've gotten the boot part done, but really struggling with the shins covers. Thanks!

Was popping in to see if there was a different method from how I did the boys for my Ork Warboss, and I see you did it exactly the same way I did. On the bright side, I feel validated for what I did on mine. 😂

the blue color looks awesome

those look really amazing

I think I just found real life Winry Rockbell. :P

I'm so thankful you made this video. I am having so much trouble making boots.

Thank you so much for the tutorial and ideas!!!

this was awesome girl! making shin/ calf armor is my biggest challenge so far, will you be showing us how you made those pieces too? ^__^ so excited to see you working on things!

You're so great and easy to understand. Thank you for these videos

Mega pretty and SmART!! You are a dream come true!! Nice work!!

Just found your channel and really love your energy and content!

love the hair!

your channel is awesome, keep up the good work!

Lookin' really great so far, Grace! Are you getting this done for a specific con, or are you just taking your time and getting it finished for whenever it happens to get finished?

this was great! thanks for this - very helpful

This will come in handy for my Doom Praetor Suit thanks for the tutorial :)

OMG this is so helpfull! Thankyou for the great tips!

Thank you so much for this! I haven't worked that much with foam before but i really want to make a Mei costume. This really helped me with figuring out how to make her boots :)

très sympa belle vidéo bravo

Wooooow thanks!! i was stuck in this exact part of my cosplay!!!! ^ ^

Awesome !!!! Thanks for the help

This helped me a lot!

Been trying to figure out how I would make my own power armor. My approach is leaning towards something that will likely cost a lot by using fiberglass to make the skeleton under cage, then hang plates like it looks from the game. I haven't started since I was considering making to someone else size so they can wear it. someone younger and more fit. :) Your idea looks great so far.

Thanks!!

pure awesomeness

Great video

nice work. very similar to the way WETA does it. Subbed

Hi there, I really enjoyed the entire T60 build. I was wondering if you could tell me how many cans of plasti dip you used for all of that armor.Thanks.

@zonzonzonbi do you think this tutorial couls apli for mei boots from overwatch

This helped out a lot! I’m gonna make some feet myself for my Pacific Rim cosplay, they’ll be a lot easier to make having watched this!

very cool!

Can you make a video showing how you cut the foam for the toe portion of the boot? Awesome job by the way.

i miss these types of videos from u :'3

this is the best tutorial for big boots! i'm making zarya boots and the durability is amazing. I rather spend a little more on boots instead flip flops. like she said get a boot with a heel so you can screw in screws . for me i screwed in three screws at the of the heel (not in front cause i want to jump) and four in front BUT on the side of the boot!

you are so amazing.

what material do you use to cover the toes? (the blue one) can anybody help?

Do you put anything on the bottom of the boot so you don’t slip or is it fine without anything?

This looks awesome! How did you keep your shin guards on your legs?

Love it 😍 so amazing I love the way you do the power armor boots 👢 perfect 👌 Oxhorn would be proud!!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍👌👌👌👌👌👌😊⛑😻😺

can you do some star wars foam videos?

brilliant

I know this vid is old, but it is exactly what I needed to see. I'm building my fallout armor as well. boots up! thank you fellow vault dweller.

Got a question, did you put any rubber at the bottom of the boots to get some grip, if not what would you recommend cheers

How cool is this? Now I just have to find some size 14's to fit me! You're very talented and I'm lucky to know you and Gilby!

What con do you plan on wearing this to?

THANK YOU!!!!!!! I'm doing a human Shadow The Hedgehog cosplay and I need the boots to look like his,so thank you!

hey great video here um few questions: what is that blue material over the boots from 2:58? cosplay noobie here

this video was helpful.

How would you attach something thin like water shoes to say a single 10-12mm rectangle of EVA foam? I feel like only contact cement might not be enough, and screws might hurt.

would you be able to use these for general wear instead of cosplay? i’ve wanted to get platforms for general wear for a long time, but dont have the money.

Is this the power armor from your cover photo or your do have more? Do you have the patterns for the power armor or you make the pieces one at a time? Thanks for the tips

transitioning from making 8" suits that usually require stilts, to something of a more human size, yet still wanting lift; this was greatly helpful

When I saw T-68 I asked Zonbi and fallout? Impossible! Two good things together

what material did you use to make the round part at the front? the blue material?

How is the mobility in those? can you run in them? i need to make some big Orc boots for LARP

Could I use like a thick yoga mat or something instead of EVA foam?

What's the Australian version of contact cement?? Can't find it anywhere here

i might have to watch the video again i didint hear a word you said i was amazed by your cuteness 😅😂😅😂

it looks like the shape of the front of the boot isn't the same as the shape of the original rain boot. how did you manage to make a rounder part for the front. or is it the same shape with more layers?

I have a question. I want to make soles out of foam like you did. But I´m so scared that they will get destroyed and worn out when I go outside. I heard you used plastidip, but my friend has used it and she said that her armour cracked when it was cold outside. So I need some help :/ Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

do you think you could make a step to step tutorial on how to make each piece for the boots

hello im trying to make a real power armor with real metal does the same technique works with aluminum platings?

What type of foam is the blue foam? it doesnt look like camp mat

The foot and shin parts are separate pieces! GENIUS!

Wow You are amazing I have seen a couple of your videos but havent read many comments and Im new to Cosplay today I saw a TV show with a super talented lady that looked and sounded alot like you made a wicked character from Guardians of the Galaxy Universe "Polaris" Was that you? Thanks for the videos I am learning a lot!

Could I use the same method if I wanted to attach them to a bodysuit

What did you use to cover the boots?

Nice :)

this was really helpfull i am making Mei's boots from overwatch and they are so big xD

How much did it cost to build the boots compared to the whole costume?

Wouldn't the foam wear and tear eventually under the boot?

Whelp, this makes making my Mei boots a million times easier!

where did you get your vault suit pants? I need to make my 12yr old daughter a raider armor set.

I'm trying to make a pair of large Megaman boots for a Protoman cosplay got any tips?

how did you make the shin peices

I subscribed.

Hi, Zombie! First of all, you are the cutest cosplay builder I have ever seen. Now to my question: When you use Plastic-Dip do you need to use a ventilator or be outside? I am mainly asking because winter is coming and I am not lucky enough to have a garage like you. :) Thanks in advance!

was it a mini cooper i saw :O

Really awesome stuff and you're reallly cute, I subscribe ;)

I love fallout but now I love you it's à very good work

could ya would ya ain't ya gonna make a tutorial on making quick man's helmet from mega man

Cool,Power armour Boots....AND A FRIKIN' TOTURIAL!!! ok,If your building a whole set like of power armour Your gonna look BAD@$$ 😎

question... what if they don't make them in my size?

How did you do the front of boot? Did you just wrap and heat the foam around the boot?

I'm making a master chief outfit. this is what ill use to make myself taller even though I'm already a little over 6 feet lol. gonna be amazing

You sell these boots?

bellissimo lavoro e bellisima tu ;)
