With the frame bent and drilled use some aluminum rod the same diameter as the hole you drilled and pound it into the holes (it should be tight). Drill the opposing holes out 1/16th larger so the rods spin freely. Use washers to help center the cradle. Cut any protruding material into the center space of the cradle flush so it won’t bind on the gun itself. |
|
Next hot glue the inner part of the frame to the air soft turret. Any gaps just pump extra glue into to make sure a good strong bond is made. it is important to get this as close as possible to the center of balance as possible. |
|
With the cradle in place test fit the lower part of the cradle to make sure it fits well and has full freedom of motion. Use washers to make sure its not binding on the inner part of the cradle. |
|
With the lower part of the cradle removed, use the blank servo horn to mark center of the lower cradle and where it should line up. |
|
Using a healthy amount of hot glue, mount the servo horn to the lower cradle arm. Make sure this is fully cool before moving on to other steps. |

Now for the rest of this article we will be using a transparent base as an example for write up purposes only. Feel free to use your imagination and build a turret base that fits your desires. I will make one recommendation though. With the green bb's and the shape of the turret (minus the hopper) it sure would look cool as a turbo laser tower like those in starwars. |
