Cheers all, those guns are quite sly to build, they look simple and are to a degree but there are some placement problems you have to get around to get the right look from all angles. I've been staring at 10 different images of them and they look different in each. I'm slightly off hear n there but I'm not buying kits for small errors on this build.
I've worked out how to mount them and have one done aside from the seat. Def sticking with static guns as I firmly believe the guns on the prop are static. It would be quite easy to make them swivel using similar techniques as the PD legs but I want my pipes to join the Brabham wheel like the prop.
I opened the SAG book today and it revealed an answer to a question I had....Must use the books more as I tend to use jpg's all the time.

Books are our friends as is the ebay seller thats sending me a Duster so I can get the the other gun done, well I say friend!!! If it lands tomorrow he is :lol
I've worked out the mount before I add the seat part, I'd hate to add the seat spend an age getting it looking good then not be able to get the correct angle on the gun without re working the seat.

Cheers Phil, although theres something scary about a sentence with the words
Bloody...Guy...flesh..... :lol
Ha ha, Mr Smiths.....Yikes
I never went to Legends once, even in its hay day I was too busy out gigging with bands so missed all the fun...sadly I did spend the occasional night in Smiths but I def prefered it when it was a Cinema I saw Superman and Jaws in Mr Smiths :lol
Thats the plan, I want to get it to at least body done and Skirt halves joined before then.......not much time at the mo as work is taking over.
At this point in time, there isnt another painter id even consider doing this, c'mon eFX.....you know Guy Cowen will NAIL this.

Great,great progresss with the gun and mounts. It all looks very sharp and accurate with the rest of the rear hull as well. I always thought the best advertisment for a Guy Cowen Slave paint job was that E wing version you did a while back. Subtle and very close to the original shades.
Great thread! I love the progress shots!

Jeez, more and more I am seeing builds of SS models that I thought ....never... due to size or complexity or both. However, more and more often, people like you Guy, as well as Jason, Julien, Lee, etc, etc, just make it look so easy and do such a good job that I think maybe or definitely!
I love these threads and kudos to you for tackling such a complicated build and inspiring me and I'm sure, many others!!
p.s. I'm copying all of the ID's and other secret information in this thread for later reference (tic) :love :lol
