The Energon Pub

[-Kanrabat-]

To make my Nova Prime perfect, I applied the Reprolabels set.

Then I bought the filler parts for Siege Ultra Magnus and the big canon plates to fill in the underside of these canons. Finally, a pair of plates to fill in the big gaps on the sides of the vehicle.

These plates plug in the front bumper parts of the truck via the 5mm ports. Unfortunately, the plates are very thin and when removing the plates that were tightly pegged in, one inevitably broke. Thin hard resin with the leverage principle don't mix well.

So I had to repair them and severely mod them by adding another plate on top to make everything solid. I used some leftover parts from a scrap BW Tigerhawk. Those piece were perfect.

Finally, I painted these plates and the all white canon fillers in silver with a dash of teal. The final results are striking.



























So, what do you think?

EDIT March 2025:

With the DNA Design kit finally out, I updated my Nova Prime. Of course, the custom panels are now out. I didn't used the DNA covers for the "ladder cannons" because mine are better, and glued in place.
The kit is very, very good and easy to install. The only flaw is that it make the figure very back heavy. The boots should have had longer heels. Appart that, it's pretty damn cool. The kit was expensive as balls, but it turned my leader Nova into a COMMANDER.

Looks pretty good!
