The white "darts" on the legs were stakes to anchor the gun to the ground. I made them out of stiff paper. Once subassemblies are done, I will disassemble the linchpins and prime and paint.

Top of the gun base. The flat part is where the loaders stand. The real platform has a lip that I duplicated with some stiff paper.

Bottom of the base that the gun ultimately sits on. 1/8" wood dowels. I notched the pieces to better fit together.

The gun elevates. And should rotate if I don't get glue on everything.

The gun in place. One of the gun-mount brackets was missing so I duplicated the other one in basswood.

Limit stops were glued to the underside to prevent too much movement.

The outriggers pivot like on the real gun.

I replaced the hinge parts. Originally they were diecut cardboard, but I was afraid they would disintegrate after a while. I cut them out of basswood. You can see an old piece on the round part of the frame.

Start gluing the parts together and soon you will have a gun.
