2x Studio Scale Falcon Gun Turret- Scratchbuild

[Bondo Fett]

Awesome work. I’ve been working on a 1/6 scale version( printed not scratch build though)

Do you have a thread going? I'd love to see it. I think I may need to ask the community for some help with references soon.

I think it all depends on the depth of that concave window, how high the guns will rest, even on a stowed stance, above said window...I believe it could be done

Okay, you got into my head, now I had to check my work. There is a pretty good range of movement, not total rotation, but enough to please me.

The very bottom edges of the support arms just kiss the two lower window frames. I can live with that.

A shot of primer.

Though it shows up all the little defects, I'm pleased there are so few. Now I have to figure out the pockets for the attachment bolts.
