Re: Just Another DeAgostini Falcon
Had to remake the gun well, couldn't live with the one DeAgostini supplied.
Cannibalised the turret by keeping the back wall and kept the front octagon ring so that I could mount it without any issues. With the front ring marked up I just extended the octagon to the edges of the ring, with measurements from the front and back I drew up a template, transferred it to some styrene and with a couple of scores where the lines were it just folded into shape and glued. Once the glue had dried it was just a case of fitting the front and rear rings had no issues there, like a glove. added some steps at the back along with some pipes and some spare I beams with some holes drilled in.
The only part of the seat I kept was the front part where every thing gets mounted on. Just needs a lick of paint and I am currently working on some artwork for the side walls. Not sure about lights yet.
