Spring-Loaded Wreckers' Turret from Transformers IDW Comics

cults3d

From the pages of the IDW comics, here's a heavy weapon that just screams "Wreck and Rule!" Twin barrels front this beast of a weapon, and these are mounted in a manner which allow them to both swivel vertically up and down, as well as rotate 360 horizontally. Facing the gunner's position, the entire getup is controlled by a pair of gunners' handles. Fire control monitors and dials help with target acquisition and keeping accurate fire. Also provided is an optional larger base to give the turret more stability. This turret can also be used by a gunner in a seated position, and this works well with the earlier WFC crew seat ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/40805045 ) too. For the action component of this build, both barrels have 3d printable spring installed inside, and the provided missiles can be loaded and readied through the used of a side catch piece. The same catch, when slid to the other side, will release and fire the missile. With the two missiles (the version sporting the 5mm port on the front) loaded, effect parts can also be attached to give it a more dynamic look. === ASSEMBLY === The attached diagram shows how the various parts of the build are assembled together. The spring bit, if printed in differing layer heights, infill and other settings will vary the strength of the firing mechanism. This piece is then superglued in place into the barrel. The catch piece works by allowing the notch at the end of the missile to fit in the larger hole section of it, and then can be slid sideways so the smaller hole portion will catch onto it. The "Body-Rear" part has been designed separately so it can be printed in higher resolution for these details and also makes painting it much easier. This can be then be glued in place, or held in place by pegging in the pair of handles. === Seeing how it's a little hard to describe the spring-loaded feature, here's a quick video showcasing that (amongst other things :P) - https://youtu.be/V1nT0-Arvmk Hope y'all enjoy this fun little take on having some interactive play incorporated into these models. Happy 3d printing and shooting off this twin turret set! =) === This model is not to be uploaded or sold in any form and is intended for personal use only.
