They look very good, very good find, there is always something that we can use going around there.

Yup, and most of the time its more luck coming across something like this was then setting out to find something

Same can be said for the ship in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

If you decide to make the turrets, here is an idea for you:

I made these for a previous project (that I did not finish) by just layering the part that I needed for the turrets. I can put something together for you, if you are interested.

WOW!! That's INSANELY tiny!!!!!!!! Amazing though!

I mean this next statement with NO malice what so even and complete admiration, Some of you guys are totally sick and demented. Those paper turrets above by RB are wicked cool. Even if I had those parts I don't have the skill to fold and build something that small. Hat tip to you. Amazing work. Now I'll show you how people like myself with no skills build the turrets.

I forget where I got these but its a custom parts kit I found on eBay for 1/700 scale Japanese ships. There is a lot of detail in these parts and I feel they will pass for futuristic space weapons. Pic 2 will be the top turrets and those identified in pic 3 will be the lower mid-section turrets.

Thank you! Actually, it was just layering the parts to make the general shape of the turret.

Moving forward, we are almost done. Time to start assembling all the different components.

Here is the engine mount
