Those two brown spots on the gun are my blood. Remnants from an errant Xacto blade.Always be careful boys and girls.

Some more parts and pieces. The foot pedals are stiff paper. More to scale than the stamped cardboard supplied in the kit.

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.
