Hi Guys, I have recently submitted my Swampy for approval and thought I should put the photos up on the forums. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jim and Rob. No, I definitely don't want to end up being the swamp thing. Maybe I'm just being influenced by too many Sandy's in my Squad. Anyway, I'll try the less is more approach.

I've just started working on some fantastic Swamp Trooper armour I purchased from Chef over 12 months ago. Yeah, I know slack. Does anyone have a picture of approved armour with weathering? This one feature is what concerns me most. Under the current CRL special notes, it mentions that it may be slightly weathered to look as if white is showing through with minor scuffs or dirt. Does that mean I can't do a Sand trooper type weathering pattern to the armour? I don't want to have white showing through as I want it to look as if he has just wandered out of the swamp covered in mud. Maybe it's the ex soldier in me, but I don't understand the mention of white showing through in the realistic variant. What would you consider too over the top with weathering that would prevent approval? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Looks great Evan. Are you planning on weathering your Swampy?

Hey Simon, I love the protective coating idea. How far away are they from offering armour outside the UK?

Cool, I'll be looking forward to see how this build eventuates and all the exciting pictures.

Looks great Rob!

I like the darker green as well Rob! It kind of matches my baggy green cap.

Rob I can't thank you enough and I can't wait to troop as a swampy and display your wonderful armour! Simply stunning.

Aussie Green. I love it!

Thanks Rob! The green project is coming along very well. My smile just keeps getting bigger. Cheers.

Rob, thanks mate. I feel privileged for you to do this for me. Life hasn't been the best lately and this has put the passion firmly back where it belongs. Cheers, Scott.

Wow!! That is awesome news. Congrats guy's and I'm sure Craig is happy with you efforts. Cheers!

Does that mean we are now canon?

I like what I see. Very nicely done sir.

I know exactly how you feel about trying to chose what to do next. I have been battling between the Swamp Trooper and Galactic Marine. The swampy finally won. I like your snow scout choice as well.

Hey Jason, your swampy is coming along beautifully! I love it. So much so my hands are itching to give it a try. Ha..ha! Thanks Rob, for the picture of the Forest Scout. I finally decide to go Swamp Trooper and you show that.

Woohoo! Congrats Torri, and welcome to the TX family.

Torri your armour is looking sooooo shiny! Well done with your build and looking forward to seeing you get your numbers. Plus I still get jealous when I see that DLT-19.

Congrats! That's a great Swamp Trooper. I think Craig would be very pleased.

Hey Mike, they look great! Your right a perfect match. How are you going with the rest of your build, mate?

Looking very good Jason! Are you far off starting your helmet? I just need to chase some armour up.

My son has sprayed his helmet gloss. But after looking at your photo's I think we will change to matte as well. If you don't mind me asking how much was the ultra saber pike? Thanks for supplying the template for the arm's, I'm still trying to track down some sintra. It's not that easy to get here.

That's one sweet Shadow Guard! I especially like the matt black.

Thats a good start Lonnie. What color lens are you going with? Looking forward to more photo's.
