Turret

Yes, a gun turret
(an attempt to do one like in TG).. plus my fencing and my early attempt at
a crater.
Gun
Turret Materials:
- Old GI Joe Gun
- Smoke Detector
Casing (make sure to throw away the components as they carry small bits of
radioactive material)
- Spray Paint
- Staples (Ladder)
- Gutter Guard
(For fencing)
- Wooden Meat
Skewers (Pointed Sticks)
- Old plastic
lid
- Color printer..
or markers and paper
- Wire
- Foam Paper Plates
Method:
- I cut the GI
Joe gun turret from the Aircraft Carrier from 1986.. and glued the turret
mount on the smoke detector.. then the gun just fit perfectly into it.
- Spray Paint
or paint etc.
- I took an old
plastic lid and cut it so it fit perfectly on the bottom of the gun turret
on the inside of the smoke detector. I used a color printer to print out striped
cautionmarkings.. which I glued to the lid then put under the smoke detector..
so that it can be seen through the grating on top.
- I glued the
Gutterguard(fencing) in place.. and added pole supports.( dont forget to paint
poles accordingly)
- I left a gap
in the fencing where I will put a ladder. I took foam plates.. and cut little
tabs to fit on the side, then pushed staples through them at certain interval
lengths, then put drops of glue to hjold them in place(tiny drops of glue)
- Glued the ladder
pieces onto the gun turret.. and painted it to match.. making sure to leave
the staples as they are.. or paint them bolt gun metal
- I took thin
wire and curled it around a pen.. then added it to the top of the fencing
for barbed wire.
