Converting a Devilfish to a Hammerhead

This conversion project was especially successful. Since a Skyray comes with enough parts to build either a Skyray gunship, a Hammerhead tank or a Devilfish transport I thought that if you have a Skyray and a Devilfish, you should be able to construct one Hammerhead and one Skyray. And even better, you could have the option to run them both as Devilfishes. And so I did!

The result is shown below, first with both as Devilfishes, then with both as Hammerheads (note that I made a custom Hammerhead with long barrelled burst cannons instead of a Skyray, as shown in an earlier blog post).

The trickiest part was the front gun, since the Hammerhead/Skyray has some kind of sensor equipment instead. This was solved by sculpting some green stuff together with the use of those tiny but strong magnets, so that they became interchangeable. Since I only had one piece of sensor equipment, I made the second one out of the rear end of a burst cannon together with a battlesuit antenna.

Another fun detail is that I was lacking a top hatch for one of the vehicles. So I used something called "blue stuff" to make a mold of the hatch from the other vehicle, then used green stuff to make a copy of the hatch. You can hardly tell the difference! To use blue stuff, you put it in hot water for a couple of minutes, press something into it, and let it cool. Then you have a solid mold.
