Making TR Nautica more IDW accurate

Postby Oreo Bot » Sun Apr 16, 2017 10:24 am

So I modded my TR Nautica in various ways because the original stuff wasnt good enough for me

Lets start with the smaller stuff. First off, I made a wrench for her using some bits of plastic here and there. Looks like crap, but it'll do.

Next up, I gave here a little antenna for the side of her head, I'm probably not going to do a visor because her features are kinda cramped, and Nautica doesn't always have the visor in MTMTE.

I also deheadmastered her using the same process as Blurr (I also hate the HM gimmick with a passion)

Last thing I did was transfer the turbines from her arms to her back. To do so, I used some pieces from ROTF Sideways (specifically the lower legs). I then glued the turbines onto the black feet Sideways had

I ended up running pins through the balljoint because those balljoints were loose as crap, and couldn't handle super glue, they always popped right off if moved.

I also had to cut off the front wheel and some more of the plastic on that piece to make sure it went down all the way and stayed mostly flush with the body.

I had to remove the pins going through the pieces from Sideways because I needed to make room for the sled to fit in.

For vehicle mode, this suffers a little bit. Transformation is the same, with the exception of the sideways things (easy to figure out). Because the wheel doesn't exist anymore and the whole vehicle isnt level with the grount because if the Sideways pieces, Just flip out Nautica's feet a little and it works fine.

All done!
