I’ve been considering trying out a Stalker again as I have a ton of Rhino/Razor chassis sitting around. But I discovered yesterday that there seems to be no one selling just the turrets nor are there even 3D print knock off designs like there are for most other tank guns.

The Stalkers 3 barrel and 6 shot style is kind of distinctive, so didn’t seem right to use a Hydra turret, though that’d be simplest.

What’s a good sub? Or a source for one that’s not practically the cost of buying the whole vehicle new?

At a glance, I think the more difficult part would be making the platform underneath the little twin-turrets. For the actual turrets if you were willing to go with fewer or more barrels you could find a heap of options:

Kromlech, for example has a number of Rapier-sized turrets:

(Middle of the page, notably the Quad Mortar and the Storm Cannon)

They're approximately this kind of size:

Skip the tracked carrier - the turret piece is separate and sold separately as seen above.

Again though the issue would be building the structure to hold these two turrets in place? But, maybe something like that?

If you are willing to wait a few days, I could probably model a knockoff turret for you and throw it on thingiverse.

Right, to clarify I need to buy/build a replacement for both the platform and the 2 turrets.

I appreciate the offer, but seems like a fair bit of time I don’t want to put you out. I also don’t actually have a 3D printer, so I’d still then have to send it elsewhere to print anyways.

I found a really nice looking 3D print one on a site someone did a year ago, but all the site had was the render, no download or buy link :(

Well, be that as it may, I did finally have a day off today, so I did indeed model it. I enjoy modelling stuff so it wasn't really putting me out, and who knows, I might want one too at some point. You can always send it off to shapeways or something I suppose.

I have not yet printed it so I don't know exactly how well it will fit - I marked it as work in progress. I have a 12 hour print running now so I might print it tomorrow - if you're interested in sending it off to be printed, let me know and I will make sure I print a copy first and make sure it works OK.

That looks really really nice! I’ll definitely have to see about what I can do for printing one. Thanks.
