Hi Zombie Killer, I hope the project is still going well and for some reason (I guess work) this thread fell completely off of my radar until now. In case you are still interested I originally used a round glass soap dish for the base of the saucer, (the type that sits in a metal wall bracket, see photo) on the side of the tri-barrel as I found that the part that would normally sit in the wall bracket fitted nicely in the recess of the gun. I cut part out of a clear plastic dome off of a garden light fitting to make the top of the dome and glued them together, but in order to be able to fill the saucer with liquid I had to drill the soap dish, which cracked slightly, so that was the test piece, but the shape and size looked fine. I have now found the same dish in acrylic which will work much better. I also intend to use a pink rubber sea anemone from an aquarium shop for the pink alien inside.
My tri-barrel is a stunt version made of solid hard foam rubber and unfortunately it also does not have the barrel end piece so like you I was planning on making this out of aluminium. I have posted some photos and although it is far from finished it looks OK from a distance but will take a lot of time and effort to get it to the right standard, as like yours it had some serious molding issues with the seams and alignment and I have just not had the time to get on and finish it.
Keep up the great work :thumbsup. Cheers John
