For the Fabric boot ...I have never seen one used in combat photo's so if you want to skip it you can...If not there are ways to make it either using an epoxie putty like milliput or you could do it using kleenex tissues that you soak in a mixture of water and white glue ...Not as hard as you'd think. As for the tools you'll see it isn,t that hard to paint them afterwords ..I usually do it that way ...Trick is to get as close as you can and then use a dark wash that will go where you can't get with a brush... You better try and sand down those glue marks because they have a way of showing thru ...that or a big glob of MUD! :-) Show us some pictures when you're finished.!
