Here is my Gun Turret I've been working on... It has been progressing and has change a few times..  I wanted to make scene that  said something..   war and peace are the theme..  I wanted to put a confederate flag & pole behind the gun... Maybe more flags..  The gun is taking a drum set look.. Which may add to the story..    any comments...

Wow - brilliant model! How did you do the ammo belts?


tom271 posted Sun, 04 March 2007 at 2:56 PM

Thank you for your comment.  By using array along a curve function...  The curve has to be played with so that the belt pieces array correctly...  once you got the belt going the right way, then the bullets fallow the same path...

Great model.  I am sure the ammo belts can be made in Bryce.  It would just take some extreme parenting/linking work.  If that one artist ,whose name escapes me, can make dragons and people from stacks of spheres I am sure this is possible. :)  Might have to try this.  Hmmm...

The top belt is the easiest.  2 MR'd groups, 1 straight, one curved on 1 axis.
Side belts.   1 or 2 MR'd groups with tweaking.  

Could use a posed smartpipe as a guide.

umm.. "MR" group?

Hmmm, could that artist be Humorix?

BTW, that's a great looking model Tom.

That would be BRYSTER.......or 'Sir' to you.........'His/Your Eminance' is acceptable......
'Cardinal'......also cool..................

Sorry your " Eminence' " ...  you spelled the word wrong....   But we must go on.....   

note:  did you know that there is a word spell checker in this box where we write our post...?

When ever a word is misspelled it is under scored by little dots.....  Well.. here is how to use the checker...  you'll notice that there is a click able box way on top to the left of this section called SOURCE ..  if you click that you'll see this page turn into HTML code...  If you find your word that is still under scored by dots...  right click on  the word and you'll get a menu with choices of words.. you then chose one of the correct words... 

Now the whole world will think you are a great speller..  he he
