so i bought an extra brawl as i like this mold quite a lot. since i've repainted my 2 other brawls, i decided the 3rd one will be guzzle.
here're the mods explained for the turret to swivel. you'll need to cut off the horizontal bar. use the rear tab from turret as new connecting port. u'll need to drill thru the turret's port for this piece to connect. for the flipped legs, pls trimmed off along the dots for the knee joint to flush. the elbow grease method: dremel / carved out the groove to extend all the waaaaaaaay to the end in order for the red tab to sit in comfortably. the easy way: just cut off the red tab. the other snubs on the knee joint can hold it in place as well. added shin plates (lego bits) to fill up the leg indentation. wreck and rule. and i shaved off the helmet to give it a rounder silhouette.
i did the same thing flipping the legs on mine. Makes it so much more accurate to the toy. looks good.
Two questions about the turret rotation: Does the turret still rock forward and back like for the combiner's leg mode? How does the turret mount onto that peg, exactly? Is it removable? Photos of the connection, maybe?
pic may be able to speak better. perhaps u can visit my ruination thread. have a look at Autobot00’s Guzzle as well
revisited this fella since he was still on my desk. trimmed off the protruding shin panel just below the knee. flushed it with the shin. added a small piece of lego filler to reduce hollow syndrome.
