DirtyBoy Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 The MRCE is what alot of troopers start out with. Basic stuff would be to change the lenses, fill the gaps, repaint grey areas, change hovis, cut extra holes in the frown, change the screen in the frown, raise the brow, add padding, screws to the ears/bottom and of course weathering. Probably forgot something but its a good starting point I had one for a while and then ended up changing to a TE2 version....Good luck man....Im sure youll be happy once the mods are done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I happen to be fond of the MR lids and the newer version from EFX. I did some minor mods to mine like Dirty Boy said and it looks great. did not raise the brow on mine because not every Sandtrooper has the high brow. While there are more accuate lids out there, this is a very solid bucket and with a little work, can look great. Let me know if you need any advice/help. I have modded a few of these for other members and would be happy to help. I also have accurate lenses, pre-cut to fit perfectly in the MRCE or EFX if you need them. Good Luck!

Grit Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 that is pretty sweet so all i need is filler and paint ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark-GTI04 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 that is pretty sweet so all i need is filler and paint ? A new set of ears too or you can trim the ones that are on there. They're a little bit too thick compared to the screen used helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iconoclasta_88 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I have never modified a MR or EFX bucket, but Im assuming the ears you will need are just ears from any ANH kit. If that was the case, you could get them from all the know armor makers. Need any more info for contacting them? Pls PM me... and I will be happy to help. Of course, if I am wrong and there are speacial ears made to mod this kind of buckets, please correct me! Anyone knows for sure? Saludos.
