wondering if you're going to tackle the Ranger armours too
this chest plate looks like its riding too low or something ... dunno
keeping the MP fresh and shiny is cool ... they're mostly deployed out at the Strip and the bases
any chance there's a Jack Reacher version hiding out in the WIP tray?
From reading the books I guess JR would keep part of the MP uniform, boots, pants etc ... and go a leather jacket, maybe the check shirt from the caravaneer outfit underneath (no NCR faction scripts I guess) ... throw in a small backpack over one shoulder, some avaitor glasses and you pretty much have an ex NCR MP hitch hiking hobo detective.
Skill buffs? hmmm survival and sneak and melee/unarmed?
I'll have a scout for a ref image
Jack Reacher - Drifter MP
out in the wastes hunting down rogue NCR/legion spies ... hence still kitted out

still wearing tac vest / harness underneath to help carry gear and keep within easy reach

lower body ... ranger issue for tracking through the wastes

no need for camo pattern, but knee pads and hard wearing make sense
boots and waders or leg wraps would help getting through thick scrub
anyhow ... shemagh on head plus glasses for bit of incognito recon
can't look either too desert or too town... bit of both not to draw too much attention
that pretty much runs an off the cuff jack reacher 'in the field' idea
It needs a more "wastelandish" and desert feel. I think you should lose the hat too.
You'd think that non-essential personnel such as these MPs would look less well prepared than the normal troops, at least that's how I always saw the normal NCR MPs, they didn't even have armor.
Nonetheless, this is just my opinion, Dragbody is free to do as he wants and I'm getting the mod regardless of what the MPs end up looking like anyway.
Also: the Strip is literally chuck full of people wearing pre-war civilian wear. Soo...
The vanilla MP armors are very boring--they're just the normal trooper fatigues with a strap around the arm. Yawn. I'm not saying the MPs should look all cool and tough, but they should at least be distinct. MP outfits, especially vintage ones, look nerdy and quite the opposite of cool. So I think making the MP armor for the NCR very cool looking would be a miss. The point is that MPs aren't cool at all; they're uptight dweebs. They're like hall monitors in high school telling drunk troopers to keep it together.
So the idea for this armor is not that your Courier would wear it, but rather that it fits the part.
This does look good, standalone. I would recommend looking back at the armors you did previous. What makes them so iconic as NCR? What makes them so Identifiable, despite being a rag tag group of dirty guys? Take that, and apply it here, mix it with modern police (to help identity) as well as the wwII look you've got going for you.
My immediate critique is the glaring difference in the pants. It's a good idea to use light and color contrast to lead the viewers eye, however, the pants in this case are so much darker, with so much more contrast than the rest of the outfit, my eye is immediately drawn to them. And lets be honest, they never looked all that great.
So, I would say, replace those with the troopers pants, get some gloves on him, darken up the shirt, and add some more defining, "MP" markers.
cheers,
Gonna go check out the female officer now.
