Laser Turrets


The only way to light the laser turrets on this thing, that I could think of, was to build new ones.

Since I'm on a tight budget, I rummaged through some old kits until I found this clear sprue from a DS9 Runabout.

It was round, uniform, had few imperfections (seams, scratches, inclusions) and was an overall good fit.

Using my Dremel as a micro-lathe, I cut a 1.25" section, inserted into the chuck and (very carefully) turned out a new set of

laser turrets. It took quite a bit of time, but I think they'll work ...and I saved about $20-25 on materials.
