Baneblade

very nice...
some questions about the ball joint. you dropped the marble in a slightly larger diameter cylinder (the bracket) and a height which is more than the radius of the ball then you glued on top of the cylinder a plane with a circular hole with a diameter smaller than the ball diameter but slightly bigger than the section of said ball by said plane?
 
Then I just glued it to underneath the main part. The marble I used was a little big and it rubbed on the bottom plate. Next time I'll match all the parts before I start cutting the top hole.

thanks, this pictures plus that of the baneblad where we see the piece of armor holding the marble confirms that it is the way I imagined (and tried to describe)
 
Hi, very impressive and great to see the evolution of your skills in this field. Just about to start my first build, a Leman Russ. Vell
