MR CE SC mod battle damaged

[0889]

I just modified my old MRCE...(yes another mod)

 

What have I done?

 

I have replaced the ears

Raised the brow

widened the Teeth

altered the eyes

changed the aerators

filled in the gap in around the mouth, but oddly forgot to do the back of the helmet...oh well

 

it was completely stripped

undercoated

sprayed with silver

tooth paste was applied over the silver to mask those areas which would later be the battle damage

sprayed with a high gloss white

hand painted the royal blue stripe and the decals, (which I'm going to redo, cos they look lousy)

I finally gave it a touch of dirt...not too much though

 

 

while there's a few errors (i know what they are), It was fun to do while I source my next set of armour.

 

Thanks for reading

Looks so nice! You can hardly tell its an MR! Good work!

have you read the CRL for the SC? Not sure if its a rule or not... maybe it doesnt matter but the brow seems a little high... more of a TD type of brow goin on there

Great job love the paint chips, did you under coat it a different colour and then use liquid masking?

 

It does say it is supposed to be a hero helmet, so im assuming its the hero number of teeth and bubble lenses?

I dont think anything is that set in stone so it possibly will be ok mate.

What did you use to trim the brow? Hand saw? Electric saw?

What an amazing improvement! The ears really change the shape and make them a much better looking lid.

That was my original post...need to get that user name deleted.

 

Cheers.

The helmet was taken back to the raw plastic, primed then undercoated.

I then sprayed it with an aluminum coloured paint.

I then used toothpaste (the gel kind) to mask the areas I wanted damaged and then coloured it with the gloss white. Once the paint was dry, I just scraped of the toothpaste...I now have paint chips

I used the medical shears to cut most of the brow, I then used a dremel with a sander attachment to do the rest. it was really easy.

I agree, it makes the difference. The only trouble is the ears are made of hips, I've already noticed some little cracks appearing. Meh.

I was trying to get the height of the brow similar to the game render below.

I don't think there's that much difference between the two.

Cheers Terry.

 

I took it out for it's very first outing last sunday morning for a very cold and very wet 5km fun run.

That looks great!

I absolutely love the job you have done on this, I have been heavily debating going TFU Commander on my MRCE/FX Suit of armor.

To help me decide I have been playing through The Force Unleashed for the 3rd time this year.

Do you have any higher resolution pictures of the full suite of armor?
