McQuarrie Concept TK Helmet

[laellee]

About a year and a half ago, a friend came to me looking for a series of Mcquarrie concept TK helms, the goal being to work up printable models of two or three from this sketch:

I think at the time we had assumed that EFX would never release their McQuarrie concept TK, so we decided to start with that style (second in from the left above). Here's the McQ V1 (as we nicknamed it), digital legwork by me, with producing and excellent finishing by Arturo Delgado. Thanks for looking!

That is fantastic. Huge McQuarrie fan here, so that really blows my skirt up!

This is one of the better iterations I’ve seen. It retains something of the real stormtrooper helmet, but it’s entirely the McQuarrie design. And the weathering looks phenomenal.

Incredible work looks fantastic.

Wow - that looks fantastic

So amazing! I have a McQuarrie kit coming soon and I'm trying to decide if I should weather it or go for a pristine look. Your pics really make me lean towards weathering!

This may be sacrilegious but I think I prefer that to the original.

I'm just being repetitive but this is just phenomenal work. Big fan of the Macquarie concept art.... great to see some coming to life.

Love the weathering!

This may be sacrilegious but I think I prefer that to the original.

I had that exact same thought.

Outstanding work!

Truly exceptional work!

Thanks for the kind words! Always tough to get a good interpretation when we're working off of what is practically a cocktail napkin sketch. Crazy to think that people like Ralph and Syd could sometimes knock out these iconic styles and ideas in sketches that took only a few minutes.

Amazing! would you ever consider selling the 3D files?

This is thing of beauty! VERY WELL DONE! Easily my favorite version of McQuarrie's stormtrooper helmet.
