Turbo Laser Cannons for Death Star Trench

By Battle Gamer, in X-Wing

Hi everyone,

We have been working on using our Death Star Trench model to play a Trench Run Cooperative game. And, had trouble finding good Turbo Laser Turrets.

Tried to make some like we've seen others do (scratch-built) -- but our attempts with pink foam came out pretty rough.

Discovered some models made by JR MINI a week back -- and they are great.

Here is a write-up about them:

We'll post again as soon as we can get some paint on them - and try again with our trench! Thanks!

Being cheap, I found some good PDF printable ones. :)

Are you using Dagobah Dave's scenario? I've found that pretty fun and managed to turn that into a 8 person game.

They look pretty good! Being me, I'd probably replace the barrels with styrene or aluminum tubing to bring it up a notch. Mel, who frequents the boards here, sells some turrets in his Shapeways store, and I think Gale Force 9 also sells some. With shipping & everything else, it looks as though the price is comparable for the level of detail.

I really like your trench board, by the way!
