These are two kitbashes I assembled years ago that have been languishing in the Limbo of my parents' house until the day I live close enough to retrieve all of my hobby stuff. I visited briefly last week and had a chance to grab a few quick pictures to share. The first is a substitute for the RMI Bishop, which (apologies to James Burrell) has some of the ugliest arms in the CAV range. I filled in the leg-spaces on a Spider body and mounted it on Sabertooth legs. Then I removed the side missile packs and replaced them with a pair of the Warden's GGC turret. The second is intended as an RMI-styled substitute for the MK4 Ghost, another of my least favorite sculpts. This one was fairly involved. I started with Sabertooth legs, a Sultan torso, and Chancellor arms. I built up the legs with brown stuff to give it a bulkier feel and visually distinguish it from the Sabertooth and the above kitbash, and filled in the indent where the Sultan's missiles normally sit (if I remember right, the other brown stuff on the back was just covering up a slight miscast). Then, in the most challenging step, I cut out the middle quarter or third of the Chancellor's gun barrels and pinned them back together. I used a fairly long pin in an attempt to keep the barrels straight.
