Modding a Mackie
« on: 29 July 2017, 09:16:45 »

I had commissioned some SC art, and the drawing included a Mackie.
I really like that one and I would like to mod a Mackie mini to look like that (see quote).

Does anyone have any tips? Or suggestions of which parts I can order/use?

The right arm reminds me of the Helepolis Sniper Arty gun. Maybe the Tundra Wolf for legs and torso, or the Templar III for legs and hips?

What about the Grand Titan T-IT-N14R "Vengeance" for both the legs and gun?

I like the legs and hips on that one better, but I'm not sure about the gun. It looks really big, and I'm curious how it connects to the torso. Is it the full "gun" or just the barrel?

If I see it correctly the Vengeance's gun has a large flat underside (the part with the recoil pistons), I think that can cut and file the excess away.

That could work. What do you plan to do for the torso, left arm and head?

Torso: Filling in some lines and cutting some new ones.
Left arm: Construct it out of scrap
Head: Add material to the sides and on the cockpit, to reduce the 'glass' surface area.
