AIE-486H machine gun (H3 turret)

[onmi shift]

hey all. ahead of attending megacon orlando, i wanted to help the booth with decoration. i saw another on here had the Halo Infinite M247 made and that inspired me the OG turret from the best halo, figured another large turret is perfect for crowd interaction.

with no good files existing(at least none i could find) of the H3 turret, i figured id make it myself. now i havent touched maya in well over a decade, but im gonna give it a shot. once done, ill post the files for free.

Looking so good already, this is gonna be a fantastic resource when it’s done.

legs, base and pintle done. files will include whole leg and option for 1.25in/32mm x 30in/762mm dowel rod for rigidity.
still need sights, ammo can, ammo belt and handles.

current scale is 58in long x 45in wide x 50in tall. i plan on scaling it up a bit more

thanks! cant guarantee its gonna be perfect. already leaving some details out and taking a few small liberties, but i hope by making it free, we can see more large props at all our booths and generate more interests.

You gonna make them into STL files for 3D printing?

I'd make one for Toronto and Montreal cons

I would certainly take on making one of these for our Ohio conventions, I also favor the H3 turret design, well done!

have you thought of making it functional? Cause that would be pretty epic!

yup. i plan to slice them into a fashion so that it requires minimal support, large pieces, but still able to fit on an ender 3(medium sized printer).

do it. props make everything look cooler. my guest room has an armory on the walls. good way to store props nut it just looks cool too, lol.

eventually i want to make it functional but im currently still relearning 3d modeling. its been a bit since college.

i plan on keeping the files up to date, so it'll be a working copy. ill post them on thingiverse when I've been mine.

I feel that lol, best of luck mate

Keep us posted, cause as soon as you make the files available I'm starting that project

 

[onmi shift]

been a bit busy on top of my dumb ass self did like 7+ hours of work, for the power to go out. and i didnt save....... just a bit of an update. im planning to leave off a some details, like the ammo can, feed belt, and a couple of other smaller details.

may or may not do the sights. with its scale, i dont know if id be able to print and finish it in time for megacon, along with making sure my my halo reach trooper and final fantasy blue mage cosplays are done.

current scale puts it at 72in long(front to back), 62in tall(ground to top of shield), and 53in wide(leg base width).

leg core will be 2in dowel rods.
mound hinge is a 2in dowel rod.
leg hinge is 1in dowel rods.
leg lock is 3/8in pin

For the love of baby Jesus, could I pay you for the files, so I could print just this piece?

I managed to find a great chaingun file last year, but the base isn't conducive to attaching it to my truck yours would be great to work with.

My project has been on hold for like 6 months while the engine got rebuilt, but i should have it back next week.

Now im jealous, where did you find the files for that? I looked all over and the closest thing i could find out was either ripped from the game or a mod for a nerf gun. That looks way better than what Im working on.

My plan was to make these files free. Post it on thingiverse.

Hell, if you still have the files for that, I can make a mount that for it.

I don't know the process for the person that made these, but he said it was a "prototype" in a sense, and didn't want the files spread around.

I've actually been cutting pieces off the print, or drilling bits out, and adding my own greeblies for extra detail(at the expense of game accuracy)

Also, I took a minigun feed chute, and scaled that up to match a 50BMG that i scaled down to about a 12.7x51 cartridge, then printed a bunch of those. Throw in some real .50 cal linkages and it makes for a good belt
