Gonna try some simple D&D terrain first, it's called 2.5D terrain, because the walls are just represented by double thickness pieces... The patterns print on regular paper, and are glued to foam core, or cardboard...

Very nice! I have seen others do it in other forums and the results are very good!

It is time for another update! Here are the parts of the components for the top and side
(*NOTE* There are a few added components that go on top of the top plate that goes behind the weapons system.)

Here is the top plate that goes behind the weapons system. As you can see, there are two green strips on either side. I raised them one layer of cardstock. There is also a cargo rack. I recessed the cargo space by one layer of cardstock and raised the brackets (that are around the cargo space) two layers of cardstock.

Here is the inside of the top plate. I attached the internal formers.

The top plate is assembled.

Now moving on to the turret.

Here are the assembled components of the turret. I recessed the black rectangle (where the barrels are mounted). I (also) recessed the four black squares that are on the top piece.

The turret is fully assembled.

As you can see, the turret rotates.

Thank you both!
I enjoyed working on this project and being able to make a more "life-like" version of the toy.
