So I'm going through and assembling the gun turrets for one of my models, and of the 3 ive done so far, 2 are nice and snug and allow pivot but dont move too readily to flop around, but the third has quite a bit of wiggle. I was debating just gluing the gun so it cant move, particularly since its one i dont expect to use, but figured before i glued it down, i'd check if anybody had any tricks that may help.

Thanks!

I'd usually put the tiniest bit of glue in there and keep moving the gun until the glue is dry. This adds a bit more resistance to the joint.

A little green stuff or other filler could be used to make the hole a little tighter.

Or blu-tac or equivalent might also achieve the same effect.

Your question does make me curious, just what are you "using" the guns for?

I'm magnetizing the gun options on my chaos defiler. The heavy flamer is the one that's loose. The havoc missile launcher and defiler scourge are significantly more likely to get used over the flamers
