Hi everyone,

Had the discovery about 3 weeks ago that if you peel away the outer piece of plastic from a 409 cleaning fluid spray bottle - that what you're left with inside looks like a pretty cool 25mm miniature (or even greater scale) laser turret!

Here's a quick write-up with how we removed and snipped and such to make our first one.

Thanks

That turned out way cooler than I was expecting. Thanks for posting it.

Not bad at all. I'd add a little around the base - maybe some plasticard supports spreading out from the bottom piece.

I prefer to buy from miniature manufacturers that *don't* support the overthrow of democracy.

Thanks for the idea on the base. It does seem a little small and simple down there.
