Another repost from the old forum
Well, the EASY ones are done! Assault and Scout tripods have hollow heads to begin with. But the rest of the Martians have solid resins heads. How to put a light into them? Well, I considered a lot of different approaches but finally settled on brute force. I took a big drill and ground out the inside of the head! It was quite a lot of work and left piles of resin dust, but it did work in the end. The Slaver tripod was the first. Kind of ironic when you consider I lobotomized the thing that controls the Lobototons!
But the results were quite good and I’m pleased. I’m hoping I can do the same with most of the other resin tripods. The Grenadiers are still defeating me, however…
