Imperial Guard Tank turret

thingiverse

An attempt to recreate the discontinued Gryphonne IV Leman Russ turret with pinpoint accuracy, mirroring its original design to be perfectly mounted on the classic kit. To assemble this turret: First, print the turret itself, opting for either a full or hollow version to save on printing costs - the latter is ideal for a more detailed model and requires suitable print settings. Next, print a matching mounting ring tailored to your Leman Russ model. Once both components are printed, simply glue the ring into the hole located beneath the turret. Installation of the turret onto the hull follows the same procedure as the original design. This ensures seamless integration and a professional finish. To add a weapon: Start by printing a desired weapon from the links provided below - all models are highly detailed and require suitable print settings. Once printed, attach the weapon to the front of the turret using glue. For users seeking the ability to switch between different weapons: Purchase 6mm x 1mm neodymium cylindrical magnets and proceed to glue one into the hole at the front of the turret. Repeat this process for each additional weapon, taking care to observe polarity during assembly. If choosing the Vanquisher canon: Print a searchlight using suitable print settings - its intricate design demands attention to detail. Next, carefully cut and file two rivets located on the right rear of the turret. Once prepared, attach the searchlight to the top right rear of the turret, mirroring the original's positioning.
