For you large-scale scratch builders, some cheap turret kits for those cap ships:

If you don't have much of a spares box, but you do have access to a 3d-printer, one of the best turrets I've found is the one this "make" is based upon:

Gun turret for Matchbox MXT toy truck.

It can be resized almost however you want, including 'flattening' for a sleeker looking appearance, and the gun barrels always seem to clip in well.

Did you print those sexy beasts yourself? They look great!

Cheers...yes, although the YV was in two parts & the DP-20 in four parts and took some heavy filling!

...and I'm still not sure I'm happy with the colour scheme

Those look fantastic! They might just find their way onto my 3&1/2 foot destroyer I'm working on

I personally use these. In spite of the fact that theyre designed for the yt-1300 side hatches, they make for superb turret mounts on anything that has a semi-flat surface to attach them to. They're also hot-swappable and easily modified to swivel in their mounts!

Neat find!

I wish they made more Imperial-styled ones (as seen on the Arquitens) though.
