eldar firestorm turrets

Using magnets to attach the turrets of my Falcons to the hull enables me to switch between different Falcon variants simply by swapping the turrets. The Firestorm turrest produced by Forge World, like so many of their Eldar kits, are fantastically designed and beautiful kits to look at. Here you can see the Firestorm turrets I've assembled for my Falcons.

date: 2008-present (work-in-progress)
components (per turret): 1x Firestorm turret Forge World kit, neodymium magnets (various sizes), brass rod, Green Stuff

I bent a length of brass rod to create a spacer so that the turret rotates more smoothly.
