The boots are old steel toe boots I had from working in a paper factory. I nailed 2x4's to the bottoms that had been cut out with a saber saw to give them the right shape. In fact, I got in trouble once as a kid for nailing 2x4's to my tennis shoes to make platforms. The scales are made out of duct tape and window screen pipeing with a bit of paint. The codpiece and center rosette(for lack of better term) is electrical tape over cardboard and a coffee lid with thumbtacks hammered on. The eyes in the boot are red bouncy super balls with a smiley face on them surrounded by duct tape. yes the costume is largely duct-tape.
This thread is dangerously getting into foo territory.
I like to ride bikes.
