Last month I chronicled the beginning of making my custom Pat Tillman. If you missed Part 1, you can check it out here. I finished last month with the primed figure ready to go. You may recall that my biggest problem was that the original Urlacher figure had taped shoes and Pat never taped his shoes. I decided to remove the tape by sanding it off. What I was left with was a flat surface from shin down that hardly resembled a shoe.

 

I began this month by using clay to build a shoe on to the surface. I used air dry clay (obviously I'm not going to stick this thing in an oven to dry it) and shaped it with an exacto knife. After quite a bit of playing around, I finally got it to a point where I was content.
