Ralph McQuarrie's Concept Stormtrooper "Armor"

Recommended Posts

A little progress on the McQ Concept Lazer Sword , cut a few mm of the top of the emmiter end and also the kens holder it was sitting to high and looks tuns better now , also cut the reflector dish for the blade to go thru and instaled one of my led blade holders , which is quite funny because that came out of one of my vintage Graflex flash units perfect fit ; )

There seems to be plenty of room inside to instal my Crystal focus sound boards :)

Do you plan to make a mold and cast them or are they just going to be one off's?

Ā 

I'd like one either way...

Well tomorrow will mark 2 months from the time this thread started. So I thought I should show some more progress.

Ā 

I decided to use my initial S4 Chest as a base.

What a great way to start month three Kevin, My thoughts on the centre rectangle are , keep it ! No other Imperial suit has this detail Tk or clone and the flat area is echoed through the entire ensemble .Flat back of legs Bi-seps forarm ladder . have you used an existing TK chest for size referance or is this by eye and experiance ? What are your plans for the Yoke or have you other ideas in that area now.

Ā 

thanks for the update.

It is amazing seeing the RM concept trooper becoming a reality.

This probably the most exciting thing since the loft discovery.

Thanks guys. I'm glad you are liking it. I want to make the Yoke because I think it would be the best option to cover the chest and back joint at the shoulders.

Ā 

As for size it's just a bit smaller than my S4 Animated clone. I have my buddy's C3PO here so I have been looking at the chest and back to give me an idea of how the neck-ring might be. I think it might be similar in size to TE derived chest. I also have a CAP/ATA set of armor I could compare it to later.

I know this RMQ TK will be bigger than C3PO.

I have to say after spending so many years sculpting the various clones, movie and animated, wearing a TK, and further inspecting the C3PO, I can clearly see all the inspirations and similarities of these costums in the RMQ concept TK.

Owning a 3po myself , making reference to the neck area is a good call . You will get an idea of diameter and hight of the neck ring . As for size of chest plate you are also going in the right direction with the tk referencees you have to hand , as I see it the MQU Chevy will look a little bigger because of the closed sides like the clone and 3po .
