WIP for Hena's Scions of Iron list. The Landraider Helios - a conversion I can do!  :D

Plastics because I have many and still a year from real money for new metal versions.

Left: Basic Model
Conversion: Removed TL heavy bolter, hatch and circular bit, aerial stubb reduced a mm. Drill hole for Whirlwind launcher.
Middle: Assembled, hatch glued where heavy bolter was, whirlwind launcher stuck on. Done and ready for painting!

Great work!

Awesome "shaving" of the hatch!  Gotta love working with plastic!

Simple and effective, nicely done.

What are you doing with the Whirlwind hulls? Care to part with them  :;):?

If you need plastic Rhinos, I have some to spare.

@ Dave - sorry the hulls are earmarked for next conversions already.

@ Hena - unfortunately the Heavy Bolters were not in a good state when removed, but really they were a bit straggly anyway even if had been removed perfectly. Will have to think of something else, though less pressing now that I can  use another LR for a SC... :D   No individual pics sorry and all assembled now, but there is photoshop. I'll try and come up with a small conversion guide :)
