Last night I was out in my work shop kicking around some foam & pvc pipes, and this is what I have come up with so far. Still have to work on the belt links, top off the ammo boxes, and put both front & rear handles on. Plus paint.

That pretty sweet. Did you cut the design with a dremel from a pattern laid out or something?

Use a hot knife & dremel to cut the 1/4" gray foam sheet to cover the 4" pvc pipe, and end cap. Then just hot glue the foam onto the pvc. Just looked at a few pics of the H3 turret, and when to work.

I use the 4" sewer pipe, and end caps. It's thinner walled, and real lite not like the other 40 sch pipe. Plue it half the cost.

It takes a really nice piece to get me interested in foam projects. This is very nice.

Put the front & rear handles on with some paint on the weapon. Still need to put some wear & tear, plus some batle damage on it. This thing is arounds 5 lbs total with out the ammo feed system, and belt links, still need to build that stuff, and put it on.

UPDATE: Put some wear & tear on the weapon. Not bad for just three days work.

Awesome work on the turret! These foam builds are getting me more pumped to start on my own.

Didn't use any pdo files. Just looked at about three diff. pic of the weapon, and started cutting the pvc pipe & foam mats, and built it as i went.
