Posted April 8, 201311 yr UPDATE 20/04/2013: new interior with extra details, see down this thread. Here is ma latest MOC, a turbolaser turret with its base. This turret will later find its place into a larger base. Turbolaser Turret by Veynom, on Flick Imperial Turbolaser Turret by Veynom, on Flickr Naturally, I found some inspiration from the Death Star turbolaser batteries but I still tried to develop my own style for the turret. Turbolaser battery by Veynom, on Flickr The turret itself looks heavily armored on the front and on the sides while more details are available from the rear side. I quite like the aggressive look it has. Rear side of the turret by Veynom, on Flickr The rear side is more detailed. Rear side of the turret by Veynom, on Flickr The lateral panels have the Cresh letter © from the Aurebesh written as identification mark. The rear side has its own design. Rear view of the Turbolaser by Veynom, on Flickr All my MOCs need to be playable by my son. This one is no excepption to the rule. The turret can rotate at 360° and the guns can move up. But there is more. The inside is detailed: Opening turret by Veynom, on Flickr So that the turret can welcome a gunner and the seat can lift off in order to add or remove a minifig. Moving seat by Veynom, on Flickr The turret base can also be opened, revealing the enrgy generators and complex cabling system required to provide energy to both the turret guns and torating engine. Detailed interior by Veynom, on Flickr Inside the turret by Veynom, on Flickr Quite some fun and I got more ideas for the inside. New interior - 20/04/2013 Here is the updated interior: Turbolaser Turret Interior Comparison by Veynom, on Flickr It includes 3 different floors accessible through a ladder. On each floor there is a dedicated control panel or tool rack. From the 3rd floor, a bridge can slide out of the wall to make the link with the turret. Inside a Battery by Veynom, on Flickr Bridge deployment: Bridge Deployment by Veynom, on Flickr Bridge not deployed and Stormtroopers in action. One by One by Veynom, on Flickr This was fun. ;)
April 8, 201311 yr I really like it. on paper a Turbolaser turret doesn't look like much. 2 stacked boxes... But you actually made a attractive MOC out of it with all the interior and the nice details... I am looking forward to seeing the base
April 8, 201311 yr Very nice details, in and outside. Very well done. Love to see a creation made in Belgium.
April 8, 201311 yr Deceptively simple, but quite beautiful! I really like the tubing/wiring on the inside.
April 8, 201311 yr Too bad this baby probably doesn't have instructions, would love to make one too. It wouldn't be too hard to find the techniques out, so you could make your own replica.
April 8, 201311 yr Thumbs up!!! Well done, I liked the outside a lot but wait - there's an interiour as well? Very nice!
April 8, 201311 yr There seems to be a lot going on inside the lazer turret. I never really put much thought into that, I guess. Great job on this MOC, looks like a lot of fun.
April 9, 201311 yr Author Thank you all for the very nice comments!!! I got suggested to add a way to move from the basefloor to the turret and I will implemented a solution in the coming days, so stay tuned for updates.

April 21, 201311 yr Here is the updated interior: *snip* This was fun. ;) wow, that does look better! I honestly don't care about the light grey/bley mix. :) (oh, I suggest that you post the new pictures too in the first post, I think there are enough people who are too lazy too scroll down :) )
