Gun Turret

by Omen

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.
