EVA foam Death Star Turret.

Thought I would share my latest build. A Death Star Turret once again I am using EVA foam as the main material along with bits and bobs I have laying around the house. For the details I used a few pieces of Lego, some paper clips, some speaker wire, a few screws, some cog washers. For the guns I used two pens, some plastic tubing including some cash receipt rolls. Please enjoy the pictures. I would love to know what you all think of the build so far.

Still can't believe you did this out of foam. Turned out really great.

I was just thinking, Disney should have this, maybe a bit bigger at one of their parks where the guns follow people and "shoots" at them.....or fires water.

Thank you, so glad you like it.

That's so cool! What makes the guns recoil?

I used a couple of servos and some pieces from one of my many junk draws including such items as Lego, A paper clip, knitting needles and some other items. Here is a video of the inner workings.

Excellent! It looks like a more "modern" design of the turret...and that's fine in my book. One can easily imagine that the DS had more than one type of gun turrets. Love the recoil and the lights also(y)cool
 
This build is AWESOME ! Personally I would use brighter LEDs to produce a brighter flash,if that is at all possible
