usually just weapon snips, or arm swaps... sometimes you can add shoulder pads/knee pads out of modelling putty (green stuff) as well...

at the end of the day though, if they are all painted up nicely in NFL style colours they will look like BB players anyway... a number helps too! :wink:

To start you'll need a file, a hobby knife and a few other tools. You'll also need a bitzbox - start saving ALL of the extra bits and pieces from models. You never know when you'll need them. Add those with your imagination and you'll go far.

The cheapest and easyiest way is to buy a box of plastics and cut off the weapons. Then paint them in team colours and away you go!

Pippin, you can see some step by step conversions at my website... just press the www button below my post here and check my GD2003 Orcteam.
But keep in mind, i used metal minis, which are much harder to convert than the plastic ones !! :roll:
