Hey Community,

one Week ago I got some old Beetleback Warlord Titans from Titan Legions, produced back in the Nineties.
When the package arrived and ich checked out, how they looked like in detail, I was a bit shocked. dstrange "non organic" walking positions, just a bit taller than a FW Reaver and lacking of much detail, they really did not fit into my titan legion very well.
I decided to convert them into sty. larger, sty. nicer. I liked the result and so I wanted to share the photos with you here.

Def improvement. I have an old 2nd edition box laying around with an old Beatle back that I wasn't sure what to do with it. Consider this idea totally poached.

Another one is already basecoated, but I could take some shots from the last model I am working on, to make clear which parts to cut off and which kind of material I used if u wanna know.

As promised, some work in progress shots.

All you need to do my conversion is a selection of Polystyrol tubes and plastic card (thin for round parts and thic for Legs). Additional I used some Hydra Flak guns I had left from my Warmonger conversion.

I am most curious.

These were actualy a mix of original weapons and pitz I found. The big guns shown above are based on machine guns from the aegis defense flak guns ;)
