Anyone modify a Blackhawk to carry the same weapons as a Honey or Wildfire?

I never liked the Honey or Wilfire, as the drivers are exposed. I am considering swapping out the weapons on a Blackhawk and produce enclosed Honey or Wildifres. Has anyone else tried this yet?

 There is a thread about this near in history. Check it out.

I magnetized all my Allied light walker weapons, and then magnetized the weapon ports on both my Blackhawk and my Wildfire. I was inspired by this thread:

In my experience, it was a huge pain in the ass, but I was satisfied with the result. I don't have access to picture right now, but I can describe the process:

1. Take a fine saw to the machine gun build (removing both the machine guns and the circle of plastic around them).

2. Remove the phaser guns from the other build (carefully, I used a pair of plier to twist them off. The tab came off inside the hole, but that couldn't be helped).

3. Carefully bore out 1/8th holes in the Honey's weapon ports, the Blackhawk's weapon ports, and in the appropriate joints of the phasers, machine gun turrets, and the Blackhawk's weapons.

4. Glue 1/8 x 1/16 magnets into the holes you've bored (making sure to keep the polarity right).

5. In my case, my phasers and rockets (the Blackhawks weapons) would sag, to I did some additional modification to make the weapons steady against the little hub on both to the walkers' sides.

It was a hell of a thing to do, and took an entire afternoon. It was my first magnetization job, and I didn't really have the right tools, but I was happy with the end result.

The "Wildhawk" from my thread in "painting techniques" for those wanting to see it without searching. It looks alot cooler on the table from a 3/4 view.
