WOW! I'd like to make one, too, but from paper. Those step by step pictures are awesome and extremely helpful. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress!

Very cool look forward to seeing the build up progress. Looks to be the Original Series 1978 Battlestar Galactica top Turbo Laser Turret. Here are some screen grabs.

Thank you

Your welcome Chazzychaz i got the scren grab from the DVD. Maybe on the remastered TOS BSG DVD set perhaps it will have high resolution never know. As for the part you asking about its hard to make out little grainy. Hopefully modeler here can help you out.

I found the part. I knew it was something I've seen dozen of times. Bandai 48th flakpanzer, also shared with other panzers from Bandai.

More parts Id'ing, not all are positive, but used for sizing. The brass work is coming along nicly, I need to make a jig to hold the brass during soldering.

 

[chazzychaz]

Work continues on the laser turret. I designed the base off of known hi res photos.

 

[chazzychaz]

Mounting ring is under construction. top and bottom details are unknown, so I bashed it trying to keep with the BSG theme.

 

[chazzychaz]

I am really excited the build is going well.

More progress

 

[chazzychaz]

the ittle details are started, I think apogee used phone cable wires. 28 gauge solid core wire. but the stuff I have won't stay down even with ca. so lead wire it is.
