Shore Trooper Grunt (First Time Build) - Ducky's build

[duckwjay000]

Hey all! 

I've recently decided to start working on a full set of Shore Trooper armor and would like to achieve Vanguard level approval at some point. At the moment, I'm just using the free Sean Fields files. I've heard that there are some modifications that are necessary but I'm not sure what those are. I think I can take care of them when they come up. For now, I've started work on the helmet. Here's the primed and base coated helmet:

An interesting thing I've run into is the texturing on the helmet. There's a couple different opinions on it and how to do it, so I decided to try it. I went a little over board with it only to find out my local garrison doesn't really want the texture anyways. Guess I'll just sand it and start again.

Really? There is a bit of texture on the armor from the painting method.

Yeah, but I messed up and it looks gritty instead of bumpy. My local garrison also advised against it, so I sanded it then painted it again. The texture is smoother and looks accurate now.
