I want to work on the scenes were the scare crow throughs the boot at the Rooster _2_01_14/ _2_01_15 and I want the boot to flop around while being throne. I just want to add some bones to it but wanted to ask permission first. I should be ok doing this I am not asking for it too be done for me just want to ask before I mesh around with someone elses work.

You can do anything you want....just make sure it's a copy of the original and upload it to svn.

Go ahead and do it, Mark. That boot doesn't appear anywhere else so nobody else should be working on it.
