*no
- part of my halloween costume this year; I have to start it early to get it done in time. Part of it I'lll have to make some serious modifications to a pair of trainers, and maybe make some parts for a jacket if i hit a wall on the current process

no, I'm not making a Michael J Fox, but the jacket (exactly the same way the original was)and if I can, the Nike Mag trainers
So far, i've made the jacket material (red part and the grey) and I'm preping the pattern. I just need a custom printed liner, and to cast the wrist/hem parts and strap details. The shoes, well, that's where it all gets very difficult.

well, I need to cast a shell for the outsole on a pair of trainers - it's two parts, a translucent part and a grey part

This will have to fit over the original trainers, which will have neoprene and padding over it to complete the look (if that makes any sense)
I need to know the is the best thing to make the mold out of and what to cast in (I originally guessed mocking up the shoe by using oil based clay on the base trainers, casting around in a two part paster cast, then using some kind of rubber/silicone to make the new outsole "shell". Then clean the base trainers and glue together)
