Are there any companies that let you just buy turrets? I am looking to do some modifications on some existing models and would like to add turrets, but don't have a supply.

I have lots of Epic 40k Rhino models and would like to add the turrets to them.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think GZG do separate turrets.

UrbanWulf24 Jun 2014 8:05 a.m. PST

GZG do 2 sets of 6mm turrets:

Medium & large turrets, also comes with some MRL pods as well:

Smaller turrets, good guns for IFVs/APC's & secondary guns on large tanks.

There's the Shapeways guy.

There is quite a variety here.

The Epic Army stuff looks great and since it is made to upgrade the model that I am working with that makes it even better.

Has anyone ever ordered any of this stuff? What was your experience? This will be my first experience with Shapeways.

I know some guys on Tac Cmd have gotten Shapeways … You may want tob ask there. AFAIK, it was all good … but expensive …

sean6833325 Jun 2014 12:42 p.m. PST

Depending on the turrets you get, it looks to me to be between $.60 USD and $2.00 USD to upgrade a rhino to a Predator or a Razor back. (Assuming you buy the larger packs.)

Given what a new model runs, I don't think that is a bad deal. While not super cheap, it isn't outrageous. $2 USD is on the high side, but I probably won't be buying any of those.

I will probably buy a few different sets to get a taste and then order more of the ones that I like.

I will check on Tac Cmd too.

AB, that second turret reminds me of our old ACAV turrets for the M113 … I may … have to get some ? huh?

Do it!
Do it now…!

Sean – we don't list them on the website, but we can supply most of the turrets from our 6mm range separately – brigademodels.co.uk

Email me if interested – tony@brigademodels.co.uk

Cheers
Tony

I just received my order from Shapeways. I am impressed. These turrets are great. I can't wait to put a few of them on some models and get some paint on them.

We can do separate Churchillian tank turrets at Troublemaker Games, just send us an email.
