I used some ABS plastic from Mcmaster Carr to make the machine gun pods. I know not everyone will have a machine shop at there disposal but if you do it makes life a whole lot easier when you need to make your own parts.

The guns were turned down from aluminum bar stock, picked up at the local Hardware store. After the bullets are glued in place I'll be adding a few more details to the pods. I'll post a finished product when I get there. BTW Doc did you ever put the second retract servo in yours?? I'm also doing that and finding it's a little more involved than just placing it and glueing the mount in. Attachments:

So I see I really inspired ya huh?? ;D They look awesome Jess! Can't wait to see the finish product...thanks for sharing on those bullets. I been trying to figure out where to find some.
As far as using a dual servo setup on the retracts, I have not done that as I am having pretty good luck with my setup.

Love the machine guns & bullets jesses151. That's a really cool idea! Dr. Evil I've been trying to come up with a better way to secure the upper part of a fuse to the meckanics. Can I use your idea? That's probably the best method I've seen yet.

I thought about it for a long time now and just couldn't think what to use until I went through my parts boxes and realize this would work really well. I 've seen others use a piece of alum. but couldn't find any around.
