Hello from Poland

Hello from Poland!

My name is Matthias and of course I am a big fan of SW. When I saw Episode VI for the first time, I fell in love with Scout Troopers at first sight

I researched this website for a while, and contacted a few scouts in my local garrison. I got advises about most of the costume parts. Most of them I can do myself. The only problem is armor and helmet.

What is more, I need to highlight that Scout Trooper would be my first Star Wars costume ever.

So as far as I know, the best option would be to order kit from KS, SC or MC. I heard that waiting for MC takes a loooot of time, so I am almost sure to take kit (armor + helmet) from SC.

 

However, the prices of kits are very high for standards of my country (Above monthly salary). So I have got fears, that I wont get it, I will be deceived or kit will be damaged during transport from America to Europe.

Is it safe to order those kits? How long I would wait for them?

What is more, I read somewhere on this forum, that in Europe I could order helmet from Rob D'Chef. What do you think about it? I searched for his site, but I could not find any information about his helmets...

Can I order any other part in Europe? Or just Helmet?

Also which Armor tutorial from this forum would you recommend for a total newbie?

 

Thanks in advance!

Matthias

I cant speak for SC or MC but KS takes 3 or 4 months plus, and the kit is probably the least accurate of the ones you've listed. I've heard chefs helmets are good but I do not own one myself. also check out the trade forum and maybe pick up some stuff that way to decrease wait times.

Hello and welcome, I had no issues with my SC helmet and armor, they also provide lots of info for assembly and quick shipping.

 

Good luck what ever you decide

Thanks for all the responses!

I am almost sure, that I will take SC armor kit.

But as for now, my budget allows me to order only the Helmet .

And that is why, I would really ask if helmets of the providers I mentioned, are the only 'good' choices.

Anyone heard about nice buckets from Europe Armorers?
