    MTMTE Nautica (kinda pic heavy) UPDATE ON PAGE 2

    UPDATE: NEW HEAD!

    Finally took some pics of Nautica with GlauG's Shapeways head and wrench. It has a great sculpt and really pulls the custom together imho.

    Original post:

    Finally finished! Credit where credit's due, I stole the idea from Zakath here: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/1037931-wip-nautica.html?highlight=nautica and the [original] head idea from Zeropoint: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/1038497-idw-style-nautica.html?highlight=nautica although I'm probably going to switch the head out for Glaug's shapeways head once it's up for sale [already done!].

    Made from PRID Arcee, Animated Prowl and HFTD Breacher's head[not anymore]. Painted with Testor's enamels and lacquer. The wrench is borrowed from Igear's Ratchet[ditto].

    sorry for the crappy iphone pics

    That......is amazing.
    I crown her the reigning champ for Best Nautica, we'll see how long she holds the title, but honestly, she will be very tough to beat IMO.

    Awesome!

    All it needs now is a light that goes off when she exaggerates.

    The chest is by GlauG: Sleuthing Robot Chest Parts V1.2
    It's meant to be the chestplate and the abs but I think it looks ok with the height increase kit. This way there's no partsforming, which was the goal ;) 

    For anyone wondering, height increase kit by JonBonhamatron: Gen. Nightbeat Upgrade Kit #1




    Also, thanks for all the kind words everyone! I'm gonna update with some new pics once GlauG's head/wrench arrives. Really looking forward to a more accurate head.

    Nice robot mode but I doubt that mish mash of parts transforms... IT DOES?! OK, this is probably the most impressive Nautica I've seen. The vehicle mode isn't quite right but it works.
