Help with converting Bell and furnace

I'm looking for help with my conversion. I have 3 different kit's for Screaming Bell (last one is new SB/Furnace kit). I want to use newest kit to make new SB. Then I want to use left over plague furnace parts and two different edition old bell kits to make plague furnace. I have few ideas how to design it, but I still want to see if anybody has done something similar. My search on internet found nothing interesting. Any help in form advice or even better pictures or internet links to similar conversion will be appreciated.

Do you absolutely need both? As in do you absolutely want to run both in the same list? Cause if not there are some good ways to make both a plague furnace and screaming bell out of one kit. You just need an extra stonearch and 2 extra platforms.

Yes I need both in same list most of the time, later on I'll need SB + 2 PF. :)
Also I love how new SB looks, but I hate how PF looks - it's way too big - and I plan on building something lower and more close combat oriented with a big swinging wooden crane to mount PF censer on. As it goes for new SB I love how it towers above anything on battlefield.
I know about possibility to magnetize top mount and crew and have double kit from one, but I simply don't like the look of "default" PF.

Brain: There's only one ride that interests me - the incredible thrill ride of taking over the world! Pinky: Mmm, I think there's a height requirement for that ride.
it would depend on how confident you are on modeling skills really but what i would do is to mainly use the world best modeling tool... sprue

- widen the carriages with sprue so that it it is the till you are happy width the width, use a knife/green stuff to make it look like wood
- stick the wheels on however you like, then stick the carriages together
- use some sprue to extend the wooden beams on the old bell to give it increased height so that it now covers both of the carriages, use a knife/green stuff to make it look like wood
- now if you want to you could make the beams look a bit chunkier with sprue again
- once you have done that create a cross beam using sprue to have the censer hanging from

from there you should have the core structure and just stick skaven bits on as you like.

for anyone wondering why i use sprue is because i find unlike many other materials i have used it is much easier to paint on
