McQuarrie WIP
« on: Aug 06, 2017, 05:27 PM »
I'm at step one of this build, cut out the visor and beginning the sanding process.

Bought this from an FB buy/sell, the maker is "Wally", who I'm not familiar with.

Next update will be after sanding everything, before I prime.

It looks like a nice cast. I'm looking forward to seeing how you finish it.

Bucket is sanded and ready to prime, I've been going over some color schemes because it wasn't something I had nailed down for sure. I originally wanted to go for a red and white scheme, but had a bit of fun seeing how some bolder colors might look on this.

3rd down on the right looks pretty slick, it’d look great with the tans and blues on the kit and you’d be able to find stuff easy I’d think.

Everyone I've shown this to loves 6 + 7, which are the shore trooper color scheme variations. I do like having a different color on the front as I've done with 7+8. I am not 100% sure I want to do a shore scheme set of armor, but we'll see what happens when I decide on armor and start selecting colors for it. My original idea was a medic, so I would like red to be a more prevalent color.

Personally I like 1 & 2 the best, I also like 5 & 8 better than I like 6 or 7.

I have two question about this helmet, if anyone sees this and knows the answer: the merc guidelines say that if this is used modern, it can't be modified. I only planned to update the color so my questions are:

1. What is the correct side for the viewfinder? I like it best on the left-hand side (on my left when worn) and most references seem to have it there.

2. Does a different color count as alteration?

I'm finishing up one last part of sanding before priming, more updates to come.

Thanks for all the color scheme feedback!

In this context, modifying that helmet means making structural changes to it, not simply the paint scheme.  As for the range finder - it'll depend on which ear cap is set up to house the range finder stalk.

The range finder on mq v1 is usually mounted on the left side of the dome not the ear cap as it's designed to stay in a fixed position..... because in the original concept it's not actually a range finder it's a periscope designed to give the wearer 360 degree vision.
