escorts: assemble hellion board as normal. take back section of DE body, trim the top and stick it to the front, giving the effect shown. if it were made properly, the front of the cockpit section would be at the base of a hellion's back.
cruiser 2: assemble jetbike chassis as normal, including fins at rear. turn over, and stick main hull to underside of chassis (now on top). chop off top of flight stand, and insert into top for observation dome. add shoulder pad to top as a kind of canopy. top fin is made by chopping the splinter rifle from the rest of the piece, and carving up to fit on the back. the splinter rifle is stuck to the front of the chassis, now underneath the hull. finally, i got some old jetbike fins (the only bit not from the kit) and sunk them into the bottom of the ship (where the saddle is), which also has a handly hole for a flight stand. extraneous footholds and handles were trimmed, then it was painted.
archon cruiser: build jetbike as normal hull and all, but slip in a hellion top half above the saddle. the top was then built up with various bits.
you cant see it in the pics, but each ship has a 3mm magnet sunk into the underside for weapon attachments.
