just some doodling here and there. going for a more 'conventional' future energy turret, as opposed to some of the deck-style arty turrets ive been making so far.

Looks damn good, practical too this time ;)

Can those guns pitch to 90 degrees or does the end cap get in the way?
actualy, mabye not.

nice turret, but your UV map looks a little funny on the rotating part of the turret base...unless you planned that.

now that looks painful. It would be cool if the barrels fired out of synch. too bad they can't recoil back into the gun. That turret looks like it was designed for a gun that kicks hard.

looks great. Those circular holes along it's length could be done in PS quite easily though, if poly count were an issue.

Excellent model, would really be a good use for a planet-to-orbit gun. But I like the textures even more, very realistic IMO.
I wish I could do artwork like that myself  :p

That really looks like a WWII naval anti-aircraft gun mount, is that where you got the idea?

not exactly, no. It just popped into my head whilst I had DoGA CGA open, as well as the need to change turret styles from the old deck-arty style I've had so far. :)

Firecrack: yes. There's just enough space for them to do so.

Supernova: that's the intersection of parts, sadly there's nothing I can really do about that :(

the rest: thanks. Much appreciated :D

Very nice :)
It makes me think of the turrets on Babylon 5.
Not quite the same, but it reminds me somewhat of those.

That looks awesome.  I think it bears more of a resemblance to a 20mm quad from WWII.  For all that people say the base looks weird with the intersection, I think it appears natural, almost like a reinforcing for it.  All in all, it still doesn't change one simple fact...I want one outside my bedroom window to deal with the neighbor's annoying dog.   :D

That is very well done. I would have that as my choice for a large, high velocity kinetic weapon similar to the Maxim gun. It looks excellent to fill the role of a planetary defense gun as well as a destroyer's turret. It's also similar to something that I would design, but not quite what I'd have in mind.
