This is not my guide! I have not come up with this but I havent seen it on this site yet and it is a much much easier way then the guides on here and allows for a easily done full armor swap.

Lo fellas
So, as some people have figured out how to change the player model, and some are still having trouble with their weapons and armour, i've made this thread.
It comes from an old, simple way to do this, that was though dead in 2.0. However, i've been digging and it still is doable, and still is as simple. So, here we go:
Firsty, download youself a HEX editor, i recommend this one: http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delph...vi32/xvi32.htm
For this example, we will turn Whirlwind Axe into High Warlord's Battle Axe
This is the file we're looking for:
MAKE A COPY OF THIS FILE FIRST
We open this into our Hex Editor
We'll see loads of shit on the screen, but don't be alarmed, just stick with me.
Hit CTRL+F (Apple+F if you're a mac user) and search for the item YOU have (Whirlwind Axe), Make sure that case senstive is OFF and you're searching DOWN.
As in the screen below, you will see Whirlwind Axe on the right 3 times. On the right, click the last letter of the last Whilrwind Axe you see.
Now, if you look on the left, you will see a space with '0' in it, and the
n 2 boxes with 2 sets of numbers. These are the boxes we need to change.
Minimise the Hex Editor to your task bar so we don't get confused.
Go to : http://wow.allakhazam.com/
Now search for the weapon that you want to change INTO (High Warlord's Battle Axe)
Click XML under the item name
What we need on this page is the number between <displayinfo></displayinfo>, in this case 31958. Copy this number.
Go to http://mrcalculator.com/Home.php?Fun...g1=hexdec.html.
Put the number in the box and hit the Hex key.
The hex code we have now is '7cd6'. This is the magic number
As you'll notice, you have to put the numbers in backwards from as they appear from the hexi calculator
Hit CTRL+S and close it down.
Open WoW.
You will notice immediatley that nothing changes on the login screen:
However, once you login, you can see that it works perfectly, even with the enchants:
This works EXACTLY the same with armour models
I hope this helps!
