    Default Another Ares conversion

    I took a picture of an Ares conversion for one of my articles on BoLS last year. Here's a link:

    Yes, I trimed them up and sanded them down on the underside till they were just the fans and braces, and glued them on over the Raiders original grates.

    That is a neat lookin' conversion. Definitly a close assault vehicle.

    With hindsight that's exactly what I should have done instead of trying to create a level panel across the top of the land raider... looks nice and a clever way of solving that problem

    step 1: Open both kits, wonder what I have gotten into, whimper, hide in corner.

    Step 2: man up and start clipping
