				<title>Question: Modifying already assembled bike models</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ So I've been collecting bikes since about third edition, and I'm wanting to make some changes that definitely would be rather invasive to the kits. In essence, there are two things I want to do:<br /> <br /> 1) Most importantly, removing an arm holding the handlebar (hands glued on), and replacing it with a different arm holding a weapon.<br /> <br /> 2) If possible, removing the stock bike faceplate, and replacing it with a Ravenwing one.<br /> <br /> I have some minor experience with modding, but I would still identify as a relative amateur. My questions are--firstly, what is the correct way to go about with these changes--how difficult would the process be, what snags can I expect, and what can I do about those changes?<br /> <br /> All of the miniatures I plan to alter are primed, but not painted.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ First of all, do you know how they were attached Plastic glue will melt the two bits together, meaning you can only separate them by cutting/sawing through. If the bits were superglued, put them in the freezer and hope he glue beomes brittle enough that you can tear the bits loose.<br /> <br /> 1. If you have a spare bike handle, just cut it off. If not, do you have the right diameter plastic tubing or alternative to make a new handle?<br /> <br /> 2. Hope it was superglued and not put together with plastic cement <img src="/s/i/a/6d3c0a908a3861135dfaebde91c0ecf6.gif" border="0">. If you have a dremel, remove as much as possible with a cutting disk, then grind the rest down. Removing the fairing this way is pretty invasive surgery, be aware you could lose the patient.]]></description>
