I'm looking forward to doing it... One of the reasons I did decide on the swampy is because I've never seen one here in the UK 17 hours ago, nanotek said: Awesome to see another Swampy!

Will you get a custom made set thats not officially been offered? Thanks for a hint? Link to comment
chrish1971[TX] Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 If you send them an email which is what I did he will send you a price and measurement chart I didn't know he did the swamp trooper until someone else mentioned him to me as initially I was only after the boots... I'm also going to be doing a crimson trooper I already have the armour it's trimmed and just needs putting all together 2 Link to comment

Dropkick[CMD-XO] Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Nice one Chris. Keep us posted on your build progress. I got my shadow scout from Chefs Creations too [before Brexit]. I'm very happy with their work. I'd love to have a swamp trooper in the Irish garrison at some stage. It would be great for St Patrick's day. Link to comment

I will keep things up to date I've still got at least a couple of months wait for it to all arrive I was going to go for a shadow scout at first but thought I've never seen a swamp trooper so decided to go for that I like the more unique costumes that you don't really see 2 Link to comment

RAIDER[COTG] Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 the first fitting! exciting a couple things id suggest as a gml would probably mention it (i know mine here in florida would)…tried marking spots in yellow for ya… -rotate the shoulder bells forward -see if theres a way to minimize that gap between belt and pouches -bund should not creep out below the belt in either front or back -crotch bunching (see the crl model…this would be probably ur most pressing fix) hope that helps! feel free to post more pics if u need more feedback. looking fwd to seeing a sharp approval from ya soon!!!! 1 Link to comment
