Nilsencs Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hey everyone, I've been thinking of what I want to do for my first build and after researching, Swamp Trooper it is. I'm excited to start this project. I've been looking through the forums and see SC is used as a basic set of armor and helmet. Are there anyone other ones that I should look at? I have my own spray booth and area to assemble everything. Any input is appreciated. Thanks Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 That is a solid choice. I wouldnt hesitate there. Link to comment
neoakaj[TX] Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 My swampy is mostly SC parts. I agree that its a good choice. If you go all the way with SC parts, I would recommend that before you paint that you round off the corners on the shoulder bells. All the sets of scout armor I have bought from him have a very square corner on the shoulders. Link to comment
Nilsencs Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Awesome, thanks for the input, I'm really excited to make this my first build, hoping my paint skills can help me with the coloration Link to comment

Nilsencs Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 What is your recommendation, go with chef or stick with the SC armor Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Love Chef's stuff, its awesome, but he is in the UK so the shipping can be killer. Send him a PM and he'll let you know bad it might. You can then decide if it is cost prohibitive. 1 Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I agree with Steve in both regards, SC being a solid choice and Chef being expensive. It's just kind of nice to not have to paint the armor. Link to comment

Chef[501st] Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yup, Jeff's stuff is a good solid choice for you chaps over in the states. Can't go wrong with it Link to comment
ShadowDave[TX] Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 A Swampy from WA... I could think of nothing better for your first build! Good Luck and post some build pictures! 1 Link to comment
Nilsencs Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Thanks for the input everyone, ordering tomorrow from SC and will be starting build. Nows the waiting game for it to get here. It should blend in well with the evergreen state up here. Does my paint need to be a high gloss or can I make it more subdued with a darker green?

Chef[501st] Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I would suggest you try to keep the green the same shade, rather than going darker. But I can't see an issue with using a matte finish over a high gloss one. Link to comment
